FAST Transfers in Turkey: Send Money, Track Payments and Resolve Errors

[TURKIYE]

FAST provides instant Turkish-lira transfers between participating providers around the clock. Good use starts with checking the recipient and ends with checking the transaction status, rather than simply confirming quickly.

When is FAST appropriate?​

An eligible lira payment between supported accounts may run through FAST even on a holiday. The ordinary transfer ceiling became TRY 300,000 per transaction on 26 August 2026. Bank and account limits and verification rules still apply.

FAST is not an international transfer service or a dollar or euro transfer. If you select a foreign-currency account, check whether the bank proposes a conversion or another transfer method.

Organising documents and an online application​

Information required​

Method	Information used	Check before paying
IBAN	Account number and recipient name	Match a reliable document
Kolay Adres	An alias connected to an account	The payee shown by the app
FAST-TR QR	A supported account or payment code	Recipient, amount and payment type
Ödeme İste	A request received through the service	Requester, date and payment conditions

Send the payment carefully​

Open the official app and choose the debit account. Enter verified payee details, the amount and a clear description. Read the review screen, including the name, currency, fee and transfer method. Complete authentication in the app and retain the receipt.

For rent, identify the rental month or purpose in the description. Verify any changed IBAN directly with the recipient through an established channel rather than relying on an unexpected message.

Seeking assistance with an application​

After confirmation​

What you see	What to check	Next action
Completed	Transfer reference and debit	Keep the receipt and follow up with the recipient
Failed	Reason and whether money was debited	Resolve the issue before sending again
Unclear status	Transaction history and account movements	Contact the bank without duplicating payment
Recipient reports no receipt	Payee, reference and transaction time	Request tracing by the bank

Wrong or duplicate transfers​

If you paid the wrong account, immediately contact your financial provider and ask it to investigate and request recovery through its process. A recovery request does not guarantee a refund. The central bank does not handle your refund instead of the provider.

If the connection drops after confirmation, check transaction history before paying again. The first transaction may have succeeded despite the missing receipt screen. Keep its time, amount and reference for support.

Making an online payment​

For residents and visitors​

Access to an account and FAST remains subject to the participating provider’s customer checks. FAST does not turn an unverified wallet into a fully enabled account. If a transfer is rejected, review transaction and daily limits and any required identity updates.

Never move money to a “safe account” specified by a caller claiming to protect your funds. End the call and contact the bank yourself. Instant processing makes checking the payee before execution particularly important.
