Some of the banks above will charge you a fee at the time of withdrawal, but below, I will introduce you to a bank from which you can receive cash without paying a fee.

Which is the best bank to withdraw from ATM in Istanbul?

In my opinion, the best bank in Istanbul is Ziraat Bank because it provides good services to foreigners.

In the next step, by clicking on the nearest Ziraat option, you can find the nearest ATMs and branches of this bank.

I also suggest you use the Istanbul airport ATM machines after arriving in Istanbul and quickly withdraw some cash to pay the expenses.

How to withdraw money from Ziraat Bank ATMs?

First of all, you should know that only Chip-and-PIN cards that have a magnetic stripe can be accepted in ATMs in Istanbul, and the method of using ATMs in Istanbul is the same as ATMs in the US.

To withdraw, just go to one of the ATMs and insert your card into the ATM. In the next step, you must enter your 4-digit password and select the language you want.

Note that Turkish ATMs only support 4-digit codes, and codes that contain letters are not supported. So, before traveling to Istanbul, change your password to avoid problems.

Next, click on the cash withdrawal option and select the desired amount. After a few seconds, your cash is ready, and you can receive it.

Points you should pay attention to when withdrawing from an ATM

Some banks that charge you a fee for withdrawals like you to withdraw a large amount so they can charge you more.

Therefore, when you insert your card into the device, the default amounts available are large.

So, in order not to be taxed too much, use the option of other amounts and withdraw the desired amount.

In the next step, the ATM may ask you to confirm the (DCC) conversion. You should not confirm it at all because once it is confirmed, around 10% will be deducted as the conversion rate by the ATM. So, click on the reject option so that your bank will do this operation.

Next, the device may charge you a small fee for payment, which you have no choice but to accept.

You should also know that your bank may charge a fee when withdrawing in a foreign country. It is better to follow this issue from your bank.

I suggest you get local currency because you need the Lira to pay the expenses in Turkey, and this has less fee. Although dollars are also accepted in this country, it is better always to pay your expenses in Lira.

Try to use the ATM when the bank is open to get help from the bank employees in case of a problem.

Although Istanbul is a safe city, try not to withdraw money from ATMs in private places because thieves may watch you and steal money from you after withdrawal.
