    How to get a good GBP to TRY exchange rate

    There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting British pound to Turkish lira:

    1. Shop around for the best GBP/TRY exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
    2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the GBP/TRY rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
    3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
    4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both GBP and TRY at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
    5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

    The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

    Generally speaking, if you are buying Turkish lira with British pound, then it's better for the GBP/TRY exchange rate to be higher.

    However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

    The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

    Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

    It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

    Living and conducting business in Turkey offer unique opportunities and challenges, particularly concerning currency matters.

    Expatriate Life in Turkey:

    • Cost of Living: Turkey generally offers a lower cost of living compared to Western countries. Expenses such as housing, food, and utilities are relatively affordable, making it an attractive destination for expatriates.
    • Currency Fluctuations: The Turkish lira has experienced significant volatility in recent years, leading to high inflation rates. For expatriates earning income in foreign currencies like USD, EUR, or GBP, this can enhance purchasing power. However, those earning in lira may find their income's value eroded by inflation.
    • Financial Planning: Due to currency instability, it's crucial for expatriates to engage in thorough financial planning. This includes budgeting for potential price increases and considering savings or investments in more stable currencies to mitigate financial risks.

    Conducting Business in Turkey:

    • Currency Risks: Businesses face challenges due to the lira's depreciation and high inflation, which can lead to increased production costs and reduced competitiveness, especially for exporters. Negotiating contracts in stable foreign currencies and implementing hedging strategies can help manage these risks.
    • Economic Policies: Recent shifts towards conventional economic policies, such as significant interest rate hikes, aim to stabilize the currency and control inflation. While these measures have attracted foreign investment, they also result in higher borrowing costs, impacting business operations.
    • Market Challenges: The economic environment includes complex bureaucracy, regional disparities, and legal complexities. Engaging local legal expertise and staying informed about regulatory changes are essential for successful business operations.

    Recommendations:

    • Income Considerations: Expatriates should assess whether to earn in foreign currencies to leverage favorable exchange rates, enhancing their purchasing power in Turkey.
    • Financial Strategies: Utilizing financial instruments like forward contracts can help businesses hedge against currency fluctuations, providing more predictable financial outcomes.
    • Professional Advice: Consulting with financial advisors and legal experts familiar with Turkey's economic landscape is advisable to navigate the complexities of living and doing business in the country.

    In summary, while Turkey presents appealing opportunities for expatriates and businesses, it's imperative to proactively manage currency-related challenges to ensure financial stability and operational success.
