Title: Transfering gbp from uk bank to turkish bank
Post by: philtiger on May 20, 2022, 18:51:34 PM
I've recently paid my property management fees in sterling from my uk Lloyds bank account to a Turkish bank account of my management company. I sent £520, my bank charged me £9.50 on top for the pleasure and the receiving bank charged £40.53. That's the best part of £50 of which I find is scandalous. So my question is what is the cheapest way to transfer money there? I don't know if transferred it in Lira whether it would be any different.

Waiting patiently for advice

I’ve got a wide account costs very little to send lira and it shows you their rate and exactly how much it will cost. I’ve also got their debit card which you can load with whatever currency you want
