Hi Banker,

Thats very interesting. Perhaps you will contact me by e-mail and tell me what interest rates you are giving. Please see my profile for the e-mail address.

That will depend on the amount you are investing and the type of account you want.

That is true interest rate depend on amount but also depend on Bank too. Another very important point is service and the contact person at the bank i think.

if you can, the most senseable way would be to have different revenue streams in retirement,all depends on how much money you have in the first place putting all you cash into any bank and hoping to live of the interest fot the rest of your natural seems high risk to me. I may be wrong on this but if you leave uk your state pension is frozen at the time of exit and you don't get the increases. turkish interest rates can only go down like the uk and the usa.

c1,

Mostly correct and I agree with your retirement advice apart from the state pension bit. The increases are paid to those in Turkey as the UK has a social security agreement with Turkey. Increases are paid in any EEC country or any country with a social security agreement. I'm not 100% sure but I think Australia is one that doesn't - so no increases there.

We are with Garanti bank and as previously mentioned, the branch before Migros is always quiet although the English there can be hit or miss.
Does anyone know if we can set up our internet banking for this account from the UK?
Have contemplated moving to TEB as closer to our apartment and also able to draw out cash from atm in English, Euros and Lira.

I am not with Garanti Bank but if their Internet development is in line with many other Banks worldwide, you should be easily be able to set up Internet Banking from the UK. Once you have their Internet address, several passwords or pass numbers, the rest should be easy. But ask at the Bank. Their English is very good these days.
