Innovation increases the competitive power of businesses and provides significant advantages in the competition process by creating different products that are provided by the competitors. Innovation is more prominent in the manufacturing sector, however, the importance of innovation has also been increasing rapidly in the service industry in recent years. As the share of the banking sector increases in the service industry, the banks also gain an importance in the service industry. Thus, innovation in banking is very important in diversifying financial instruments and increasing productivity. Increased level of financial success has been observed with the implementation of the financial innovation process in the banking sector. It is stated that the share of participation banking in the world banking sector is increasing day by day in the studies related to banking activities. Participation banking, also referred to as Islamic finance, is developing new financial instruments in accordance with Islamic rules to compete in the world banking sector. Participation banks, which offer interest-free banking services to their customers, have developed innovative products and are offering these services to their customers to provide a better quality service. From this point on, the first part of this study reveals the historical development of the participation banks from the beginning of their establishment up until today. The role of participation banking and its importance in the banking sector have been examined from a financial standpoint. In this study, innovation procedures in participation banks are explained.
