Getting TRY to Türkiye from Germany

Seen from Berlin. The Turkish diaspora in Germany, the Netherlands and France is enormous, and transfers home are steady and long-running. Most banks in Germany either won't quote TRY or route it through a second currency, adding a spread nobody discloses.

Grey quotes EUR to TRY directly for senders in Berlin and Frankfurt. The TRY lands at Ziraat Bankası, İş Bankası, Garanti BBVA, Akbank, Yapı Kredi or any Turkish bank as a domestic deposit. Nothing to install on the receiving side.

How sending to Türkiye works

Grey foreign bank account in Ghana
Sign up
Grey asks for a passport or Aufenthaltstitel and nothing else to open. Add Istanbul as a destination straight after. Grey works with regulated partners in the EU.
Fund
Any EUR top-up works: SEPA transfer from any German bank. Regular senders to Istanbul usually keep a small balance ready.
Send
Türkiye runs on IBANs. Paste the recipient's TR IBAN, confirm the EUR to TRY rate Grey shows in Berlin, and send.

What the fee doesn't tell you

Grey does one conversion, EUR to TRY, and shows it. What lands at Ziraat Bankası, İş Bankası, Garanti BBVA, Akbank, Yapı Kredi is what was on screen in Berlin.

The TRY figure doesn't move

Whatever the market does after you tap send in Berlin, the TRY amount arriving at Ziraat Bankası is fixed.

For a bill with a due date in Istanbul, this removes the guesswork.

The old way to Istanbul, and why it costs more

Ask a bank in Berlin to send lira and you'll often be told to send dollars instead. Türkiye carries students, patients and traders at once. What they share is the need to know the lira amount before it leaves.

On the receiving side

TRY into any bank account in Türkiye. Ziraat Bankası and Ziraat Bankası, İş Bankası, Garanti BBVA, Akbank, Yapı Kredi are all supported, and the credit looks domestic. The sender in Berlin sees the same settlement confirmation in the app.

Bank delivery

TRY to Ziraat Bankası and any other bank in Türkiye.

Repeat recipients

Store a recipient once. Every future payment is three taps.

GreyTag

Both on Grey? GreyTag delivers instantly with no fee.

Getting money onto Grey in Germany

German senders fund by SEPA from Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Sparkasse or N26. The euro balance sits on Grey until a payment is due. Then Istanbul is a conversion and a tap.

SEPA transfer from any German bank

The standard route from Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Sparkasse, N26 or any German bank.

Dollars from abroad

Skip the EUR leg by sending from a USD balance.

Leftover balance

Whatever's on Grey converts to TRY instantly.
Sending to Ziraat Bankası for the first time? Check the account details twice. After that, Grey remembers them.

The people behind Germany to Türkiye transfers

Students

Living costs for scholarship students at universities in Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir and Konya.

Medical patients

Deposits and balances for dental, hair and fertility clinics in Istanbul.

Textile traders

Payments to wholesalers in Laleli, Merter and Osmanbey.

Family support

Monthly transfers to relatives in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and the Anatolian provinces.

For senders in Berlin and Frankfurt, the Istanbul side matters most. The Turkish diaspora in Germany, the Netherlands and France is enormous, and transfers home are steady and long-running. From Berlin and Frankfurt, the senders are a mix of families, students' parents and businesses.
