Fixing the course
The rate is fixed for 2 hours from the moment of confirmation. For large amounts (from $50,000) - booking for 24 hours is possible.
Turkish holidays
During Ramadan Bayram and Eid al-Adha, banks are closed for 3-5 days. Plan your payments based on the religious calendar.
Difficulties
Difficulties in settlements with suppliers in Turkey
Volatile exchange rates, cash payments in markets and a confusing system of bank transfers.
Typical problems
The TRY rate changes by 2–5% per week - between the application and enrollment you can lose on the course
Many suppliers in the Laleli and Merte markets work only in cash
Turkish banks correspond only in Turkish - errors in documents block settlements
Refunds from Turkey take 2-4 weeks due to bureaucracy

Tips for working with Turkish suppliers
How to work effectively with Turkish suppliers.
Well
Fix the course immediately
The Lira could lose 1-2% per day. Fix the rate at the time of application. For amounts over $50,000, we book the course for 24 hours.
Planning
Consider religious holidays
Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr - banks and factories are closed for 3-5 days. Make payments in advance so that the goods are shipped before the holidays.
Saving
Havale is cheaper than SWIFT
Domestic Havale/EFT payment costs 0.5–1% cheaper than international SWIFT. We select the optimal route for each payment.
Negotiation
Trade in TRY, not USD
Turkish suppliers include a 5–10% margin when pricing in USD. Negotiate the price in TRY and save.
