August 2026 table for retiree promotions: How much are the cash and additional benefits from banks?

As of August 2026, promotion campaigns are back on the agenda for those who transfer their pension to banks or renew their existing commitments. In addition to cash promotions, bank offers now include extra opportunities such as credit card spending, automatic bill payment instructions, account usage, and installment cash advantages.

The main condition for these campaigns is generally a commitment to receive the pension from the relevant bank for 3 years. The cash promotion amount can vary depending on the retiree's monthly income/pension level. While some banks highlight cash payments, other offers reach higher total benefit levels through additional campaigns.

In the Akbank campaign, the promotion amount is determined based on pension brackets. Payments are projected as 6,250 TL for those with a monthly income up to 9,999 TL, 10,000 TL for those in the 10,000-14,999 TL range, 12,500 TL for those in the 15,000-19,999 TL range, and 15,000 TL for those receiving a pension of 20,000 TL and above. To benefit from the promotion, the pension must be received from the bank for 3 years.

For public banks, a promotion payment of up to 12,000 TL, depending on the pension amount, stands out within the framework of the standard SGK protocol. Halkbank and VakıfBank increase the total benefit amount with additional campaigns focused on credit cards or shopping alongside the cash promotion.

Those who wish to transfer their pension to another bank can perform the transaction via e-Devlet using the “Bank Change” step. Additionally, there is the option to become a customer and create a pension transfer request via video call through the banks' mobile applications. Retirees who wish to process the transaction at a branch can apply with their T.C. identity card and sign a commitment letter.

When choosing a promotion, it is necessary to look not only at the highest total amount but also at the conditions for additional rewards. Requirements such as automatic bill payment instructions, card spending targets, insurance policies, or account usage are among the main factors that determine how much the retiree will actually benefit from the campaign.
