Turkish banks increase pension promotion offers

Turkish banks are increasing promotional offers to attract and retain retirees from SSK, Bağ-Kur, and Emekli Sandığı. As of August 2026, several private banks have introduced enhanced incentive packages.

İş Bankası has announced a campaign offering up to 15,000 TL in cash promotions for those who transfer their pensions or choose the bank for their first payment. When combined with additional financial products and advantages, the total reward can reach 25,000 TL.

Other private institutions, including Şekerbank, ING, Türkiye Finans, VakıfBank, and DenizBank, are also offering competitive packages. In some cases, total benefits may reach up to 35,000 TL depending on conditions such as automatic bill payments and credit card usage. In contrast, public banks are reported to offer payments at approximately the 12,000 TL level. Retirees can apply for these promotions through bank branches, mobile banking, internet banking, or the e-Devlet portal.
