🗂️ A service announced by TCMB on 29 July 2026 identifies the payment and e-money institutions where you have an account. It can help find forgotten or unexpected accounts, which you then review directly with the provider.

1️⃣ Find the correct service​

In e-Devlet, look for Ödeme ve Elektronik Para Kuruluşu Hesap Sahipliği Sorgulama under Central Bank of Turkey services. Sign in to your own account and confirm the provider and service name.

The result concerns account ownership at payment and e-money institutions. It is not a combined bank-balance dashboard or a tool for sending money or closing wallets. Zero-balance accounts can appear too.

2️⃣ Who is covered?​

SituationCoverageWhat to check
An individual checking their own recordPersonal payment and e-money accountsUse their own e-Devlet login
A foreigner with YKN or a Mavi Kart holderEligible if able to use e-DevletAccess for the person’s status
An heir of a deceased personA separate enquiry after inheritance verificationRequired document and dedicated route
A company or legal entityNot covered by this individual serviceContact the institution directly

3️⃣ Review the results​

📋 Note the institutions and compare them with apps you previously used. A company’s legal name can differ from its brand. Check that possibility before treating an unfamiliar name as evidence of fraud.

Review unused accounts for cards, instructions, balances or obligations. Obtain those details from the institution, since the enquiry service does not manage the account. Keep a short record of review and closure requests.

How do I close it?Does not perform closureThe institution’s closure process

5️⃣ Unexpected accounts and delayed updates​

⏱️ Opening and closure data are updated within a maximum of 24 hours, depending on institutions’ technical infrastructure. A recent change may take time to appear. Check the closure time and provider confirmation before drawing a conclusion.

For an account you do not recognise or a continuing mismatch, contact the institution through verified channels and request investigation. Keep the result, request and response. Do not follow an unfamiliar person’s investigation link.

6️⃣ Heirs and unresolved complaints​

📄 A separate service permits an enquiry for a person you inherit from after verifying inheritance status. Identifying an institution does not automatically transfer the deceased person’s money. Rights and document procedures remain with the relevant bodies.

Take problems to the institution first. If unresolved, review the appropriate TÖDEB individual-customer panel or TCMB complaint process. Use the enquiry to organise your account record and protect your identity, retaining evidence from the provider where required.
