E-Kent has tailored its systems to meet the individual customer requirements of various railway networks, municipalities, public transport companies, car parks, cultural parks, zoos and museums located in major cities in Turkey. It has been able to play an important role in decreasing the operational costs of public transport systems and turning these systems into major sources of income for its partner municipalities and public transport companies.

Whatever the individual priorities and needs, E-Kent aims to provide useful, efficient and productive systems and to continuously improve them.
Approximately TL500m (around US$300m) of turnover is processed by E-Kent systems every year, providing a reliable income stream for operators of public transport services and other services which use E-Kent's integrated entry and exit systems. To date, over three million smart cards have been sold to local passengers for use in E-Kent systems. E-Kent aims to become the "indispensable key to urban life" and to this end it works with many renowned domestic and foreign hardware, software and technology providers. To facilitate this, we are a member of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP). In addition, since early 2008 E-Kent is a subsidiary of Çalık Holding's Aktif Bank, and as a result E-Kent is now backed by one of the leading investment companies in Turkey and in the region.
