ATM charges

[Stevechips]

After a period of grace, TEB atms have started deducting 5% for withdrawing GBP , I'm using a Starling card , is there a cheaper option anywhere, can't get a Revolution card until I travel back.

With the Starling card can't you exchange to TL and draw that out?

[Stevechips]

I'll investigate on the Starling site, thanks

[waddo]

When did they start again? They did not charge me on Monday.

[johnerebus]

Turkbank don't charge when I withdraw with my Starling card. It's the only bank I know of who don't charge

[Stevechips]

Turk bank ATM charged GBP £0.27p for 500 tl. Think that's about as good as it will get..

[Deniz1]

Credit West dont charge for taking tl.

[Chriswright03]

Is there a limit as to how much you can take out a day? Last time we used a friend's Turk Bank account to transfer £3000 and it cost us £30 which in itself wasn't too bad but if I can draw £500 or more any time for free that is obviously an easier and cheaper method that I will adopt.

Just looking at this thread again as I am struggling to find a bank other than Capital that don't charge to withdraw TL. Turk Bank is mentioned but when I tried the other week it was stating three lots of 20tl for 1000tl. OK not much but even then I prefer to have a choice of ATM's to use where I don't have to pay.

Iktisat don't charge me when I draw TL with my easyfx card

I've also used Limasol Bank, Esentepe to withdraw Tr Lira, with Revolut Card, no charges, yet!
There are a few branches about, see map, or Google.

I use Limassol bank at Alsancak to withdraw TL with my Nationwide card and there is no charge.

[benjaminbutton]

Thats interesting Elizabeth because end of last year I put Halifax card in to draw out TL, refused it, Went in to Bank to check and was told, "we don't accept English cards" Obviously they have seen some sense.

I use limassol bank atm at Esentepe, I always get charged for withdrawing Turkish lira using my Nationwide debit card. 1000 tl carries a £2.63 Charge.

[JoandJelly]

I don't get charged by Iktisat or Turk Bank to withdraw lira on my Wise card.

[Chriswright03]

Yet again I have been to capital Bank today to use the ATM because they don't charge with Starling card and yet again their ATM is out of order. Luckily having read this thread yesterday we tried Iktisat a few doors away and money withdrawn without charges. Success.

On another note has anyone used their Starling card in SAH without issue? My neighbour tried today and it was declined yet there is nothing wrong with the card at all.

Withdrew money (tl) from esentepe garage today. No charge.

[bevron]

Hi Trigger.
I often draw money out from that ATM at the garage and you are right it does not show any charges at that point, but when I look at my online statement it shows the amount drawn out with no extras added on, but is then accompanied by a charge usually a further £2.85p depending on the amount withdrawn. Not certain if this is my bank charge or the ATMs.

Hi, I have just checked my statement and it is only the cash withdrawal showing, no charges as far as I can see. If it changes at a later day, I will update this post. Btw, it was my revolut card that I used.

Just used the card at SAH with no problem so that is that bit resolved.

I also tried to get cash from Near East ATM and it wouldn't even recognise the card. Tried at Garanti and it did but wouldn't to charge 4.99%. Credit West won't let me use it either. Still making my way round to find another bank where we can use it without charge.

[Deniz1]

You spend more in petrol and time running around in this heat just to avoid charges?

[Chriswright03]

Yes that can be the case of course. I tend to do that sort of thing when I am passing to save that though. I try to use my brain a bit still.

[Deniz1]

Lots of the atms are playing up at the moment not paying outor saying technical problem I lost my card to one yesterday but went straight into the bank where it was and got it back.

[Chriswright03]

Yes I tried a couple of Near East ones and they accepted the card and PIN and then wait............................................eventually it came up saying it was not recognised and asked if I wanted to carry on or have the card returned. Err what do you think? Also at Capital yesterday is said temporary error contact the bank. Went a few doors down and used Iskit or whatever it is called without a problem.
