Key Highlights

• The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkiye (CBRT) has been developing its digital currency, the Digital Turkish Lira, since 2019. The project aims to modernize the country's payment system and promote financial inclusion by introducing convenient alternatives to traditional payments. The first pilot phase of the Digital Turkish Lira was completed in December 2022, with payment transactions conducted via the Digital Turkish Lira Network. Further pilot phases took place in 2023, involving a wider range of participants (such as banks and fintech companies). However, an official launch date had not been announced as of the time of writing.
• As well as payment cards, mobile payments are also gaining traction in Turkiye, driven by widespread acceptance of mobile wallets. The availability of domestic wallets offering convenience and security is attracting users, as is growing uptake of contactless payments. To benefit, in September 2023, Samsung Electronics Turkiye partnered with payment companies Visa, Pazarama, and Moka to launch the S Wallet mobile wallet solution. S Wallet enables consumers to make contactless payments via Samsung smartphones at POS terminals, as well as payments using wearable devices. The solution is aiming for over 1 million active users within three years of launch.
• Credit card adoption will further be fueled by banks offering installment payments. According to a report published by the Interbank Card Center (Bankalararasi Kart Merkezi [BKM]), Turkish consumers made TRY1.1 trillion ($46.4 billion) of payments via installments between January and September 2023, up 25% compared to the same period of 2022. To capitalize, banks are offering flexible payment options to their credit card holders. For instance, HSBC offers the Mastercard HSBC Premier credit card, which allows card holders to split purchases across two to six interest-free monthly installments. Going forward, installment payments will rise steadily, driven by the growing consumer preference for flexible payment options.
