Public body announcementTürkiye
Türkiye postpones the mandatory Secure Payment System for property sales to 1 December 2026
Türkiye’s Ministry of Trade announced that, through an amendment to the regulation, the mandatory start of the Secure Payment System (Güvenli Ödeme Sistemi) will be reset to 1 December 2026. The system makes the title-deed (tapu) transfer and the payment to the seller take place at the same time. It covers sales in which part or all of the price is paid in cash, by bank transfer or by electronic transfer. A pilot is planned once the banks’ technical infrastructure is complete. If you are buying property in Türkiye, check in advance how the payment will be settled at the title-deed transfer.
