The only thing I could find about Finans bank that isn't dated about 10 million years ago.

Most banks will offer you a better rate for the first month after changing banks, but if you are happy is it really worth it?

The Central Bank of Turkey at its monthly meeting,December, kept the interest rate at 6.5%, the first time in twelve months it has not been reduced,BUT it did say interest rate changes may occur in the future.

10% at Finans today normal rate :), there is also a chance to add another .5% if you put 10% of your interest account into your everyday account for one month :)

Tinx ;)

Sounds like a good deal doesn't it?.....but is it really? Take the hypothetical case  All figures before tax to make it easier. You have 100000 TL which gets you 10%  that is you get 833 TL a month Interest  You put 10000 TL into your daily account so you only have 90000 getting 10%That is 750TL a month. Plus approximately 4% on the 10000 now in your daily account...That is 33TL a month. So your 100000 TL is now earning 783TL and you have lost 50TL a month interest Your remaining 90000 will gain an extra 0.5% which is 37.5 TL which means you are still 12.5 TL a month worse off!
