While attending the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday, Turkcell CEO Sureyya Ciliv said Turkey leads the world in GSM use in banking operations. Turkcell is Turkey’s top GSM operator.

At the conference, organized by the World GSM Association (GSMA), Ciliv said it was clear that Turkey was in a good position when GSM applications in Turkey were compared with other applications presented during the congress.

Ciliv said that Turkcell’s Mobile Signature application, a GSM service that allows users to sign electronic documents and transactions with their legally accepted digital signature using their GSM SIM card, was announced as a priority project by the GSMA. As of March, he said, Turkcell would begin teaching this application to 750 mobile operators globally, who will eventually implement it in their own countries.

Ciliv also noted that Turkcell advanced to the Global Mobile Awards finals in two categories. Turkcell’s Mobiwar will compete in the “Category 1a Best Mobile Game” final, while Turkcell’s commercial “Tonla Kazan” will compete in the “Category 1c Best Mobile Advertising Service.”
