Is it possible to draw Sterling from Akbank with a Nationwide card?

Cheers

I had really bad problems trying to get sterling from the Akbank atms in January with my Nationwide card  in both Calis and Fethiye, the Calis one I think we managed one withdrawal and then after that we continually got a message saying no gbp available, we tried 2 in Fethiye several times think we were successful once.
I also read on fb yesterday folk had been getting charged some sort of tax ( £4 a time) for withdrawing sterling...

Withdrew £100 from the standalone Akbank atm opposite Dikmen change office in Fethiye yesterday morning. No charge / tax from Nationwide.

I’ll try again as my post appears to have gone.

There was a glitch last year with AK bank in that it didn’t offer sterling on the screen at first. However if you waited instead of cancelling the transaction GBP then appeared.

We never had any problems once I worked it out.

AK Bank is my go to ATM for GBP since Garanti allegedly started charging for withdrawals in foreign currency even with a Nationwide card I read elsewhere.

I withdrew sterling from an Is Bank ATM late last year with a nationwide card and did not incur costs.

AK Bank is my go to ATM for GBP

 

You now have another AK Bank ATM to go to Nichola. A second one has appeared opposite Gustorante on the Sunday Market Road.
