In July, banks that updated their retirement promotion campaigns increased their offers to attract salary customers. With additional campaigns, the total promotion and reward amount in some private banks has risen up to 30,000 TL, while the highest cash promotion in public banks is 12,000 TL.
Following the salary increases for retirees in July, banks have also updated their promotional campaigns. Banks, which are increasing competition to attract customers who wish to transfer their retirement pensions to their own institutions, have introduced not only cash promotions but also interest-free loans, credit card advantages, automatic bill payment rewards, and various additional campaigns.
Millions of retirees have begun comparing current campaigns to determine which bank offers the most advantageous deal.
PROMOTIONS AT PRIVATE BANKS REACH 30 THOUSAND TL
According to the updated campaigns, if specified additional conditions are met, Yapı Kredi, Albaraka Türk, and DenizBank offer promotions and extra rewards totaling up to 30 thousand TL.
In the campaigns of Garanti BBVA and İş Bankası, the total benefit amount goes up to 25 thousand TL, while TEB provides support of up to 21 thousand TL to retirees.
HIGHEST PAYMENT AT PUBLIC BANKS IS 12 THOUSAND TL
At Ziraat Bankası, Halkbank, and VakıfBank, promotional payments vary depending on the retiree's pension amount. The highest cash promotion amount offered at public banks continues to be 12 thousand TL.
To benefit from the promotion, the retiree's pension must be transferred to the relevant bank, and a commitment must be made to receive the pension from the same bank for three years.
WARNING FROM EXPERTS TO RETIREES
Experts note that retirees should not focus solely on the promotion amount when choosing a bank. It is recommended that retirees also evaluate interest-free financing options, credit card advantages, automatic payment campaigns, and the overall service quality offered by the bank.
