In recent years, many Iranians who have opened bank accounts in Turkey have faced sudden account closures or banking restrictions.
This issue has caused widespread concern, especially for individuals who:
-
live or invest in Turkey
-
have businesses or purchase property
-
receive foreign income
-
or use Turkey to transfer money
However, the reality is that account closures are not random and have clear and preventable reasons.
❗ The most important reasons for the closure of Iranian bank accounts in Turkey
1️⃣ International sanctions and banks' sensitivities
Turkish banks are directly under pressure from laws:
-
FATF
-
US sanctions
-
Anti-money laundering regulations (AML)
Therefore, any suspicious transaction with direct or indirect connection to Iran can lead to:
-
account freezing
-
request for clarification
-
or a complete block
2️⃣ Incoming and outgoing amounts without clear explanation
If:
-
large amounts are deposited without documentation
-
the source of the money is unclear
-
transactions lack a business pattern
The bank is obliged to review the account and, if necessary, block it.
3️⃣ Using personal accounts for business activities
One of the most common mistakes by Iranians:
❌ using a personal account for trade
❌ receiving money from various individuals
❌ repeatedly transferring large amounts
Banks consider this a banking violation.
4️⃣ Contacting unlicensed exchange offices or individuals
In case of contact with:
-
unofficial exchange offices
-
unknown individuals
-
transactions without clear explanations
The likelihood of account blocking is very high.
5️⃣ Using the account to bypass sanctions
If the bank determines that your account is used for:
-
bypassing sanctions
-
financial intermediation
-
transferring money for third parties
the account will be closed without warning.
What happens if your account is closed?
In case of blocking:
-
you cannot withdraw money
-
the bank card becomes inactive
-
money transfers are not possible
-
the unblocking process is time-consuming and expensive
-
sometimes requires a lawyer and official documents
In some cases, money may remain blocked for months.
