HSBC out of £'s for who knows how long
« on: February 25, 2014, 14:39:31 PM »
I tried to take some £'s out of the HSBC bank ATM today at about 11am but they didn't have any in either machine.

I popped into the bank and asked them if there were £'s available and they said no and when I asked when they looked very vague and shifty and said they didn't know!

What is going on?

Mrs Tickets got the same answer this morning. Not clear when they would be getting any for their ATMs.

We went to the ATM at the Shell petrol station near to the Otogar and got sterling OK from the machine.

So no clearer as to why the problem, but you can get the money from other HSBC machines.

Until it runs out I suppose... But thanks for that info maybe I'll pop down there in a bit.

If it has run out at Shell, a little further out I know, but the Calis HSBC ATM may have Sterling.  Don't forget though that it has moved from by the bridge opposite the promenade main entrance, back down half-way along the strip, between the Kerim Hotel and the Mangal restaurant, opposite the Gunlis restaurant (aka Frank Canons)

Which Kipa and which Garanti ATM please, I'm always on the look out for more places you can draw sterling.

And in return, you can get sterling from the TEB's ATM near the otogar.

Slightly OT but I am due to pay the remainder of our rental in a couple of months time and the property owner has asked for it in sterling.

I'd thought about withdrawing it once I'm there as I didn't really want to travel with a considerable sum of cash but by the sounds of it that's what I'd be better off doing as it seems the ATMs run out on a regular basis.

Does anyone know what the limit is for how much sterling you can bring into Turkey? I've found several conflicting answers.

LeeGlo the first Kipa garanti does not show on the side of their ATMs the pound sign but most of them have pounds in.

I don't think there's a limit on how much you can bring in but there's a limit of £10k that you have to declare when leaving the UK.

Oh it'll be well under that, great.
Thanks KKOB.   :)
