Sadly the rate is dropping again for short term savings - last week it was 6.70% at Yapi Kredi for 34 days for 100K + Lira

It has been dropping every month for the last few  :(

And don't forget there is 15% tax to come off that as well  >:(

The KTLN home page has a heading of 'Turkish Bank Savings Rates' towards the bottom on the left, with links to several banks.
Not sure how up to date they are though.

...and don't overlook potential currency fluctuations should you want to exchange back into sterling in the future.

Papatya thats a very good rate

Where did you find it - how much is invested and for how long [ or if that is secret ] just which bank will suffice  ;)

we tied up some money in deniz bank for 100 days at the end of last year. to get the best rate we had to change it from sterling to lira. as we were leaving it in lira to pay for some things on the apartment then that was not a problem. 10k made £490 in interest over the 100 days!  :)

If you can tie up your money for 6 months, bank bonds are a very good bet. These have two advantages, they offer a higher rate of interest than any savings account and the tax paid on interest earned on a bond is only 10%.

We have had three consecutive 6 month bonds with Deniz Bank and have been very pleased with the performance.

Bond issues are twice yearly, I believe the next issue will be in March.

Pattaya - Deniz Bank usually offer an extra 1% interest [ as a bonus ] on new accounts but after the first period it drops back to the usual rates

Check with them first
