Foreign Currency Transfer (SWIFT)

The fast and easy way to transfer foreign currency, from Garanti.

By using the Foreign Currency Transfer (SWIFT) step on Garanti Internet Banking, you can easily transfer foreign currency to banks in Turkey and abroad. Also, if you want to receive foreign currency transfers from abroad, all you have to do is to give our bank's swift code TGBATRISXXX, your name-last name and your account number to the person who will be transferring the foreign currency.

How to perform a Swift transaction via Internet Banking

To perform your Foreign Currency (SWIFT) transaction, you have to enter;

  • Your foreign currency account from which you will transfer foreign currency,
  • Your TL account from which the transaction fee will be collected,
  • The country that the bank you will be transferring foreign currency to is located in, and the first letter of this bank,
  • The first three letters of the city that the bank/branch that you will be transferring foreign currency to is located in.

Instead of all these information, you can enter the SWIFT code of the bank that you will be transferring money to. The Bank SWIFT codes consist of 11 digits. If the SWIFT Code contains less than 11 digits, you need to create an 11-digit code by adding the letter X to the end of the code.

After making these entries, the bank branches that fit these criterias and registered in the SWIFT system will be listed. If the bank that you want to transfer foreign currency to is not on this list, you have to go to your branch to carry out your transaction.

If you place your foreign currency (SWIFT) order until 17:00, the money will arrive at the beneficiary bank account in 2 working days. For orders placed after 17:00, the money will arrive at the beneficiary bank account in 3 working days.
