Hi evryone,
Can anyone please tell me if depositing large amount of money in a savings account in Turkish banks is a safe idea? I will appreciate any advice.

Turkish banks are reliable. There are also foreign banks in Turkey you could use. The interest rate is high so putting into savings would get you good return. I suggest talking with one of the bank representatives as there are other factors you might want to consider before moving a large sum of money.

Thank you so much for your helpful response, N. maria. In fact, I was thinking about talking to someone in the banks, but I had heard I would have so little chance of finding someone who could speak English. Any suggestions?

I know İş Bankası and Garanti Bankası both have customer service in English. You can find the contact information on their website.
