Account in the Turkish bank Albaraka Bank

Albaraka Bank is a Turkish private bank founded in 1984. It began its activities in 1985. Albaraka Turk was founded by the Albaraka Banking Group, the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and a Turkish industrial group. As of 30.06.2019, the bank's shares are owned by foreign companies in the amount of 65.99%, Turkish companies - 8.76% and listed shares - 25.25%.

Today, Albaraka Bank works with non-resident companies. The bank does not open accounts for companies with risky activities, as well as for Cypriot companies. Turkish banks do not work, do not accept and send payments to Cypriot banks.

Peculiarities of opening an account for a non-resident in a Turkish bank

  • Full-fledged Internet banking.

  • Account maintenance is free.

For non-resident companies, Albaraka Bank has a daily limit of $30,000. It is possible to increase the daily limit after 3 months of working with the bank. The main advantage of opening an account in Turkey is free work with US dollars, the bank's good attitude towards Ukrainian citizens, as well as the possibility of opening an account for an offshore company.

How to open an account in the Turkish bank Albaraka Bank?

We obtain a Turkish tax number for a company and manager of a corporate account or for an individual (for a personal account). Turkish tax number is mandatory for any customer who wants to open an account in a Turkish bank.

We submit documents to Albaraka Bank for opening an account and agree on a date for your visit to a bank branch in Turkey. A personal visit to the bank takes 1 day. At the meeting with the manager, the client signs bank questionnaires, receives account details, Internet banking and a payment card. For non-residents, the card currency is available only in Turkish lira. The account is activated in 3 to 4 days after the visit to the bank.

Albaraka Bank adheres to the principle of "know your customer" and in each case reserves the right to request additional documents, which will lead to an increase in the time for opening an account, and may also refuse to open an account without giving reasons.
