hi,we recently transferred money into a turkish bank account,we paid £31 at hsbc for the transfer,we were then charged £141 from the turkish bank.Is this what usually happens ,it seems unfair to have to pay two lots of bank transfer fees.I would appreciate it if anyone has a bit of information on the best and cheapest way to transfer money over,thanks,joanne

If you have transfered from a HSBC account in the UK to a HSBC account in Turkey it should have cost you no more than £15.

i did here of this with HSBC last year a couple of times it has not happened to us in any of our banks over here. i would check some other banks and then go back to HSBC and ask them to waiver it.

I transfer money from HSBC in England to Finans bank and it cost me £10 whatever the amount, no charge from Finans.

We transfered from HSBC in England into Finans bank in fetiye.The HSBC charged us £31 and Finans bank have charged us £141.When we went into the bank in england they told us the main bank was istanbul and the money had to be sent their first and when our power of attorney collected the money to pay towards the property we was told the turkish bank has charged us £141.is there any way of finding out why they have done this?

That was a "Swift" transfer for a sum over £10,000 and yes both banks will charge.

mine was a Swift transfer, before you did your transfer did you obtain the swift code for the bank in Fethiye?

To tansfer funds to Turkey my UK bank charges me £12.50 to send it and the ING Bank in Fethiye charge me £22.50 to receive it. And I thought I was being ripped off!
