What’s Included with Your Turkish Lira Business Account
A dedicated TRY currency account connects your operations to Türkiye's economy without the complexity of establishing a domestic bankiTürkiyeng presence. You can send, receive, and hold TRY under a single multi-currency framework, ensuring greater control over liquidity and conversions.

The Risk of Not Having a Turkish Lira Account
Managing TRY activity only through foreign-currency accounts or ad-hoc conversions creates unnecessary cost, delays, and compliance challenges. Without a dedicated TRY account, local settlement becomes slower and less predictable.
FX erosion:
Repeated, unplanned conversions compress margins.
Payment delays:
SWIFT-only routes add intermediaries, days, and fees.
Counterparty friction:
Local partners prefer TRY transfers to domestic accounts.
Compliance hurdles:
Paying local taxes and payroll without TRY can be challenging.
