Banks

My agent has just told me that Turkish banks will not protect you if one of their staff steals money from your account, is this correct? If so, must be a big concern for anyone with their pension deposited over there.

i would suggest then not to put your eggs all in one basket keep some back in an uk account, it may not be just the staff after your money..

Rimms,
I was told that some banks may take your money and you will not be able to get it back, however, with a government backed bank i.e Finans, Garanti you have no such problem and you can rest assured your money is safe. The only problem i encountered with the Garanti Bank was the length of time it took to get to the till.

We had the same problem at Garanti. It's worst on Monday and not much better on Tuesday. The last couple of times we've been between 9 and 10 on Thursday and got in and out in next to no time.

p.s. This included going to the till and some business upstairs as well.

You know your interest rate on your lira how come it goes down.  Mine was 16.25 to start with now its going down to 15.25 and does it continue to go down each month and if this is the case would it be better to move my money to another bank?
