Turkish lira bank account vs Wise account

If you need to send, receive, and hold TRY you may be able to open a Turkish lira bank account with your normal bank. That means you can transact in Turkish liras from wherever you call home, without needing a local address overseas.

Wise accounts are a great alternative. Use the Turkish lira details which come with a Wise account to safely receive money in Turkish liras, which you can convert to spend conveniently in the US. Wise converts at the mid-market rate with no hidden fees.

Hold your funds in Turkish liras or 40+ other currencies in your Wise account, send payments to 160 countries, and get an optional Wise card, to spend and withdraw your Turkish liras easily in the currency of your choice.

The number of currencies you can receive money in depends on your location. Check which currencies you can receive.

Wise doesn’t accept cash or cheque payments. Read more about which types of transfers you can receive.
