Hello..
I'm thinking about opening a bank account in Turkey.
I did my research about e-Orange Account from ING Bank, CEPTETEB from TEB and Enpara from QNBFinansbank, and I still confuse.
I was going to choose Enpara, but then I realized that they don't have English-speaking customer service, I guess.
Maybe, just maybe, one day some problems might occur, and how can I talk to them if they can't speak English?
That's also my concern.
Anyone here using their services?
Can you give me some advice?
Thanks in advance.

I have only used Ziraat Bankasi for Lira account,
They don't charge anything, they have website and app in English and website, but their ATM is only in Turkish. also most of their Employees can't speak English,
The only good thing it is free and they have ATM everywhere .
I also would like to know information about other banks especially for opening a foreign currency account. but I think i will open a new post for that.

I have been using both Ziraat and Turkiye Is. Both I find english friendly and the customer service too.

I find Ziraat bank to be Top notch! super service, also super affordable and great Yabanci sigorta too! considering most if not all other insurances are just a scam with a super high prices and insurance does not cover anything, they call it 1 year waiting period so you basically pay for nothing!
