Garanti GBP Account Withdrawal
« on: October 15, 2018, 18:35:45 PM »
Hello Good People

Please bear with me while I ask the following:
Perhaps somewhere in the middle of the forum there lies an answer but I am unable to find this

My wife and I have a GBP A/C with GARANTI
We opened this last year in a little haste with the  intention of adding Internet and bankcard access during our next visit

Unfortunately since this period I have  encountered a serious health condition which has prevented us from getting back to Calis

Now the problem is that it has become necessary that we transfer a portion of GBP from the Fehiye account to our UK account

I have tried to contact and communicate with Ayce Kalafat Cabi in GARANTI but to be honest with very little success

I presently believe that (without internet) the only way to withdraw/transfer any money is for us to be present within the branch

This sadly is not an option at the moment

Can anyone advise me if there are alternative options?
1) Can we open internet banking while I am in the UK?
2) We were even considering trying to obtain a Power of Attorney

Could anyone advise me of an alternative contact within Fethiye branch GARANTI?
An email?
Or telephone?

At one stage I tried GARANTIwebsite and was directed to their Head Office but this all ended going round in circles

We are presently finding it so hard to get directions

Thank you all for your time and help

Kindest Regards
BobP

It might be worth speaking to someone in their London office.

Lissa
Likewise I really do appreciate your thoughts and kind offer

We just never thought that we would find ourselves in this position
Trust me when I say 'Enjoy every minute you have' (especially in our beautiful Calis)   :)

I will keep you updated

I am still following up with my problem regarding GBP transfer to UK from our GARANTI bank A/C while being present in UK

I was wondering - While we are here in the UK - would it be possible to nominate a POA to act on our behalf??
Now THAT is probably a silly question !!

Karennina and Lissa - we haven't forgotten your extremely generous offers and will PM you on our progress at some time
Please accept our thanks and kindest regards

Yes, you can nominate a POA to act for you without leaving the UK.

Your first step is to find a Notary Public close you using Google or another search engine.
