Personal accounts: Turkey

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

We assess your chances against your profile, prepare the compliance file, help you present your source of funds properly and handle communication with the bank until it decides. The final decision always rests with the bank, so no one can guarantee an opening - careful preparation simply improves the odds.

We quote the exact cost for this country after a short consultation: it depends on the bank and your residency. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

FAQ

Can a non-resident open a bank account in Turkey?

Yes, a foreigner can open an account with a passport and a Turkish tax number. In practice some banks also want a residence permit, a Turkish address and a local SIM card, so visiting several branches is normal.

Do I need a Turkish tax number to open an account?

Yes, the vergi kimlik numarasi is mandatory. It is free and can be obtained at a tax office or online from your passport details, usually quickly. No tax number, no account.

Can I open a Turkish bank account online?

Fully remote onboarding is mostly for people who already hold a Turkish ID and a verified address. A non-resident foreigner almost always has to appear at a branch and sign there.

Does Turkey report accounts to other countries?

Yes. Turkey takes part in automatic exchange under CRS and reports accounts held by tax non-residents. Banking there does not remove your obligation to declare the account at home.
