Bank Asya	2012(5.064/250)	22,7	20,3
Kuveyt Türk	2012(3.939/221)	18,5	17,8
Türkiye Finans	2012(3.595/220)	18,6	16,3

Deposit Banks	2012(181.197/10.192)	18,0	17,8

Actually, Bank Asya Participation Bank has the biggest personnel number and average personnel number. Apart from Bank Asya, Albaraka’s average is high. In deposit banks, average personnel number reached by dividing the total personnel number to the branch number is 18 in the end of 2011. The same average is 20,2 in participation banks. This means that participation banks employ 12 % more employees for branch than deposit banks for 2011. But both of them is equal almost in the end of 2012. The average personal decreased in the end 2012 for participation banks. Rapidly increase in the brunch number seems the cause of the decrease for average brunch personnel number.
