H.S.B.C. Install Bankamatik in Akbuk
The new ATM which has been installed on the main road opposite the Belediye is now fully functional. The unit is an ATM Express model, fully enclosed and air conditioned.
The touch screen interface allows account holders to withdraw and deposit cash in TL, Euros or Sterling, transfer money between accounts, buy & sell mutual funds, change PIN numbers, print statements etc. etc. As far as we can tell it allows complete access to all your Turkish HSBC banking needs and if that's not enough there is a free phone to access the telephone banking system.
This will be of great help to local residents who bank with HSBC here in Turkey, we can see no reason now why depositors would need to make the journey to Didim every month - It's a bank in a box.
May Day Hoilday
Don't forget the 1st May is a national holiday in Turkey. Banks, schools and government offices etc. will be closed.
