Pensioners in Turkey may get up to 40,000 TL bonus in November from banks

As Turkish banks ramp up competition for pensioner customers, new offers in November 2025 reportedly promise up to ₺40,000 in bonus payments for pensioners.

Key take‑aways:

Banks are increasing pensioner bonus/promotions to attract customers.

While typical pensioner bonuses have been much lower in recent years, the market is showing signs of upward movement.

The “up to ₺40,000” figure is not universally confirmed — actual amounts depend on bank, pension amount and fulfilment of conditions.

Pensioners should:

Check promotions at multiple banks and compare the total payout plus any requirements;

Make sure the bonus is an actual cash payment and not just conditional;

Understand the terms: receiving their pension through the bank, keeping a minimum balance, or making certain transactions may be required.
