Hi guys,

How easy is it to set up a bank account in Turkey where I can then transfer money into an English account?

Banking is quite easy and advanced

Swift and Western Union are some of聽 your options for international money transfer. Which almost all big banks support it.

Opening an account in a bank is fairly easy , you just need to bring all the documentation.

hi suki, Garanti Bankas谋 is a good a experienced private bank n turkey. Many of the banks do western union, or EFT, SWIFT, but their quality is first class. So, choose them. You have to get you ID Card or PASSPORT(more preferred) to open a bank account.

Honestly Turkish bank system more useful then other countries , specially USA, you can use your ATM card everywhere in turkey which is very secure with pin code

Everyone suggest Garanti Bank but there are also big Global banks聽 HSBC ,Citi Bank etc, but using local bank is always more advantage also unlike USA bank here they dont charge you for " Over draft Fee" or Using ATM

go one of branch in touristic area this way you can communicate聽
good luck
