Outgoing SWIFT from Turkey, please recommend the bank

Post new topic

Mike Churkin

Dear forum members,


I need to SWIFT some money abroad from Turkey, but my bank (Deniz) does not permit it due the fact I don't have an Ikamet. Is it a common issue or there are some banks could do it? Please advise!

Western Union or Moneygram available many Banks but $ 25 per transfer fee though

@LoneStarGuy  Thank you! Point is as well, that in the destination country USD would be automatically converted to the local currency. This  I would try to avoid, but this is possible . I was thinking that may be I could open a bank account where I could perform the outgoing SWIFT.

And surprisingly Kuwait Turk bank has a great customer service.I could not cash my social security check there but tried everything to solve matter. Show no prejudice ladies with headscarf but really nice but  do not shake hands so keep your hands down .Western Union CEO is Turkish-born and lives in Denver area.
