Send Money from France to Türkiye

Measured on the full cost — the transfer fee plus the exchange-rate margin — Wise is cheapest on this corridor at €1,000, across the 3 providers we hold checked figures for. The cheapest provider also changes with the amount you send, so compare the final sum that arrives in Turkish liras rather than the headline fee.

At €1,000, Wise is the cheapest of the 3 providers priced at that amount on this corridor: about €6.91 all in, or 0.69% of the amount sent. Western Union is next at about €13.29. That is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin that applied to a transfer of that size — priced at €1,000 specifically, not worked out from a measurement taken at some other amount. It covers a bank transfer; cash pickup and mobile wallet payouts are priced separately. The margins were measured by Wise's comparison service rather than published by the providers themselves, and other providers here may be cheaper and are not priced this way.

Yes. Up to €100, Western Union costs least on this corridor; from €250 upwards, Wise does. The change happens somewhere between those two amounts — they are the amounts actually priced, so naming a precise crossing point would be a guess dressed as a figure. This happens because a transfer costs a flat fee plus a percentage of the amount, and those two scale in opposite directions: on a small transfer the fee dominates, on a large one the exchange-rate margin does. It is why a comparison taken at a single amount can point you at the wrong provider for yours.

Most transfers on this corridor arrive within one to three business days. Paying by debit card is generally faster than a bank transfer, and transfers initiated outside banking hours may not begin processing until the next working day.

Across the providers we compare, the available payout methods are bank deposit and cash pickup. The most widely used options in Türkiye are bank deposit settled over the FAST instant rail, plus cash pickup. Once funds reach a Turkish bank they settle almost immediately over FAST, the central bank's 24/7 instant payment system. Not every provider supports every method, so check the table above before you commit.

No. Remitly and Western Union offer cash pickup in Türkiye, so your recipient can collect the funds with valid photo ID and the transfer reference number. That said, bank deposit settled over the FAST instant rail, plus cash pickup generally cost less than cash collection.

Providers rarely give you the mid-market rate — the reference rate you see on Google or Reuters. Instead they add a margin, typically between 0.4% and 4%, and keep the difference. That margin is often larger than the visible transfer fee, which is why a "no fee" service can still be more expensive overall. For EUR to TRY, compare the quoted rate against the mid-market rate to see the real spread you are paying.

Yes, provided you use a licensed provider. Every service listed on this page is regulated in France under the ACPR, the supervisor of the Banque de France, which requires safeguarding of customer funds and identity verification. Send only to people you know personally, keep your transfer reference private, and be sceptical of anyone pressuring you to send money urgently to someone you have not met.

Yes. Each provider sets its own transfer limits, which vary by how much identity verification you have completed and how you pay. Larger transfers may require additional documentation such as proof of source of funds. For transfers above roughly €10,000, a specialist foreign-exchange broker will often beat an app on rate.

Wise's card rows are withheld on this page. Read twice on the same day, its account, bank-transfer and open-banking rows returned identical figures while the debit and credit card rows moved by two to four times. That is now observed on five corridors across three markets and treated as a property of the source rather than a quirk of any one page: only the rows that held are published. The wallet rows are withheld here too. Google Pay and Apple Pay read 20.74 EUR on one reading and 20.73 on the next — a single cent, but this site publishes figures that held identical rather than figures that were close, and applying that rule inconsistently is how a standard stops meaning anything. The row Wise labels PISP is a French bank payment authorised directly rather than through a card, and it appears because France is an EU member. It is consistently the second-cheapest way to fund a transfer here, behind only money already sitting in a Wise balance, and it sits below the card options in the list where most senders have stopped reading. The Turkish lira has moved a long way over recent years and continues to. On a corridor with a currency like this, a rate quoted today tells you very little about next month, and a service's fee is the only part of the price that holds still enough to compare.
