Savings Deposit Insurance Fund of Turkey

The Savings Deposit Insurance Fund of Turkey (TMSF) is the body responsible for deposit insurance and fund management within Turkey's banking system, headquartered in Istanbul. Established under its current name in 1983, tracing back to a 1933 deposit-protection law, it manages deposit insurance, administers and liquidates the assets of failed financial institutions, and oversees companies placed under state trusteeship, including firms suspected of financial crimes. As of 2025 it managed more than 1,000 companies across media, finance, energy, and manufacturing, and oversight of it passed over time from Turkey's central bank to the office of the Prime Minister and later the President.
