It never pays to assume !! That is the rate for GBP ..... however other banks are offering better rates depending on the amount invested.

Todays monthly interest rates for TL are 8.25% and GBP 0.75% at HSBC.

These rates take into account the latest 1/2% drop in interest rates by the central bank of Turkey and should therefore hold until mid October. Then you can expect another 1/2% drop for TL, though there is a slim chance that the drop will be 1/4%. Banks here will follow suit within days.

You can improve on the TL rate by around 1% to 1.5% by switching away from HSBC, though this does have risk implications.

Thank you - very helpful but please can you just clarify.... although you say monthly rates for GBP are 0.75% this is the annual % rate is it or is it 0.75% pcm? eg £100,000 pays £750 per month or £750 per year? Many thanks. Hoping to move out next year having just bought a house and trying now to eork out finances so any help/advice is welcome.

Mess 9 - DON'T rely on interest from your TL account !



Shed loads of us Brits were lured here by 20% interest rates, now the rate is well below 10% and still plumeting...



Soil will be on the menu in the Bicknell houshold from next week....

Still don't get it - monthly interest rate...... surely the figure ypu are quoting is 10.5 APR....? but would GBP be 0.75% per month?

This confused me too! The rate is an annual rate with the interest being paid monthly.
