Opening a bank account in a foreign country can be confusing; however, in Turkey, this process is easy and usually takes a day or more, regarding the documents you have ready. UNIQ will assist you and be by your side, ensuring the process goes as smoothly and fast as possible.
After you find your home in Turkey, the following step is managing your finances in Turkey. The process is simple and quick. Many foreigners, non-residents, and investors use Turkish banks for mortgages and money transfers. All banks offer mobile banking services and digital applications so that the payments of bills, mobile phone invoices, and many more are easy to maintain. In Turkey, you can pick between international branches and public or private banks offering English-speaking staff to make the process as easy as possible.
Required documents for Foreign Nationals
Few documents are required to open a bank account in Turkey: A potential TAX number (is required) or a Residential permit, which is optional. Getting a potential TAX number doesn’t mean you will pay taxes; this number is needed as identity proof and registration in Turkey.
Documents needed for opening a bank account in Turkey:
Passport (proof of identity)
Tax identification number in Turkey (Vergi Numarasi)
Proof of address (it can also be any official bill like water, telephone, etc.)
If you have a residence permit in Turkey, that will speed up the process of opening the bank account. Well prepared with all the documents provided, the process usually takes one day.
Larger Banks will provide you with a bank card and internet banking on the same day.
