Turkish banks have updated their retirement bonus promotion amounts for June 2026, with state-owned banks leading the offers. Halkbank, Ziraat Bankası, and Vakıfbank are among the institutions providing the highest promotion amounts, with some banks offering rewards up to 100,000 Turkish Lira. These campaigns are designed to encourage retirees to transfer their pension deposits to participating banks. To qualify for promotions, retirees must transfer their monthly pension payments to the bank offering the bonus and commit to withdrawing their salary from that institution. The timing of these promotions coincides with anticipation of July pension increases, as millions of Social Security Institution (SSK), Bağkur, and Civil Servant Pension Fund (Emekli Sandığı) retirees prepare for the year's second cost-of-living adjustment. While some banks have maintained their promotion amounts for 2026, others have introduced new offerings as part of competitive efforts to attract retiree deposits.
Why This Matters
Turkish retirees benefit from competitive deposit incentives that can meaningfully supplement their pension income, particularly as they anticipate July cost-of-living adjustments. These promotions directly affect millions of SSK, Bağkur, and Emekli Sandığı beneficiaries, making it essential to understand available options before transferring pension payments. Banks are actively competing for retiree deposits, creating a favorable window for seniors to maximize financial benefits.
