If you’re working abroad and sending money to Turkey to help support your loved ones, you’re far from alone. According to Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, more than 5 million Turkish people live in countries across the world, with the vast majority settled in Western Europe.
We know that remittances can be vitally important to the comfort, wellbeing and livelihoods of your family members back home. We’re also aware that high transfer fees and unfair exchange rates can make sending Turkish lira an expensive, frustrating process.
This is where Remitly can help. Our money transfer service is designed to be clear, convenient and cost-effective. You can send remittances to be picked up in cash at designated locations in Turkey, or simply send directly to one of our banking partners–including Ziraat Bankası. Here’s how.
Send Money to Ziraat Bankası in 5 Easy Steps
Remitly makes the whole remittance process straightforward. Just follow these steps.
- For first-time users, download the Remitly app and create a profile. Then select Turkey as your destination country.
- Enter the amount you wish to send.
- Choose Bank Deposit as your delivery method and Ziraat Bankası as your location.
- Enter your recipient’s IBAN number.
- Enter your payment details.
After checking all the details are correct (paying particular attention to that very long IBAN number), you can proceed with the TRY transfer. For extra peace of mind, you can choose to have your recipient kept informed of the process through SMS updates. That way, they’ll be notified when the Turkish lira remittance is complete.
Why Should I Use Remitly to Send Money to Ziraat Bankası?
Making a new life in a new country can bring challenges, but sending money to Turkey shouldn’t be one of them. By using the Remitly website or app, you can look forward to a stress-free and transparent process, with low fees and great exchange rates. Don’t worry if there’s a change in circumstances and you need to cancel the transfer before it is successfully completed – we’ll simply send the funds right back to you.

How Much Money Can I Send to Ziraat Bankası with Remitly?
You can send large or small amounts of Turkish lira using Remitly. That said, in order to keep your details and money secure, and to adhere to international remittance regulations, we do apply sending limits.
