Great news for Russians investing in Turkey for the purpose of living, as well as for those who rent real estate: there is hope that soon the issue of the inability to pay in Turkey with anything other than cash will be resolved. Recall that in the autumn of 2022, the Republic of Turkey stopped accepting Russian MIR cards for payment, which created great inconvenience.
Recently it became known that Russia and Turkey are actively working on a payment system for visitors from the Russian Federation, so that guests of the country - tourists and those who get a residence permit and stay alive - have the opportunity to use bank cards. However, for this you will have to resort to a special, newly created payment system - Rebit Card.
Thanks to it, theoretically, it will be possible to pay with cards - however, only debit cards, we are not talking about credit cards yet.
The future partner service is created primarily for the convenience of tourists and to maintain the tourist flow from Russia to Turkey. However, if this idea can be implemented as quickly as possible, it will simplify the lives of many, primarily "temporary immigrants" - those who moved to Turkey for several months or years and preferred to rent an apartment. After all, rental rates continue to grow, and it is difficult to bring or receive such a large amount of cash to pay off the owners from the Russian Federation.
Whereas the average monthly rent in Turkey has already exceeded 6,500 Turkish lira (TL), and in large cities and in popular resorts it is much more - hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
