Best Offer from Banks for Savings

[captainjon]

There is no way you can find out the highest offered rate from any bank without visiting said bank.They will ask how much you want to invest.The best rate will be achieved with an investment minimum of about £50000.Teb is currently 19.50% gross.Fortis 18.50% I believe.There is no city bank branch in Fethiye!nearest is in Izmir,some 4 hours away.Hope this is helpful

is there a web site or newspaper (online) where the current interest rates can be viewed, as they vary from day to day

Try HSBC web site

What is your rate of interest for under 100.000ytl

[banker]

I need to learn the balance. If this is more than 50.000 I can serve you 19.5

but over what period, 1 month, 35 days or 42 days, and the gurantee is only on 50,000ytl, so safer to have 50,000 in 2 seperate banks. Alan

from 27 days to 90 days I can give you thee same rate and 50.000 ytl is guaranteed for per person in one bank. If this is joint that means 100.000

If I have 50,000 Lira in your Bank, I will get 19.5% interest, if your Bank goes Tits up, I am guaranteed to get all my money back, minus the interest which would take it over the 50,000 Lira ceiling.

If I have 100,000 Lira in your Bank, I will get 20% interest, if your Bank goes Tits up, I am guaranteed to get back 50,000 Lira, minus the interest which would take it over the 50,000 Lira ceiling.

It`s a no-brainer really.

If you have 50.000 ytl you get 19.5 and this is already under gov. guarantee.

if this amount is 100.000 you can make joint acc. with your wife and you got still gov. guarantee.

my reference is my customers.

We use TEB, interest rate is pretty much same at most banks, goes up and down with exchange fluctuations. The good thing is there are 2 branches of TEB, one in Fethiye town and 1 near the Otogar,both have at least one member of staff who speak english. The one by the Otogar is never crowded and Efsun is very helpful.Whats more they don't charge you for receiving funds from abroad (unlike the bank we started out with which shall be nameless).
