What is the best way to transfer money from Turkey?
First of all, as soon as you arrive and get your student ID; you’ll be able to open a bank account in UMCU (UM Credit Union) or in TCF. With this account you’ll be able to wire money overseas with the required fees. If you don’t want to pay the tranfer fees; there is an ATM for CityBank which is around 15-20 minutes drive from the campus. You’ll be able to withdraw money from there if you have an account in CityBank. Another popular option is using a Paypal account, you should check their website for more information.
