Promotions exceed pension payments: Which bank offers how much? Here are the details...

Ahead of the pension increase scheduled for January, the competition among banks regarding retirement promotions continues unabated.

While it has been announced that promotion payments of up to 24,000 TL can be made to those who transfer their pension to another bank, these offers provide an additional income opportunity for retirees.

According to a report by Ekonomim, as of 2025, banks are focused on attracting customers with attractive promotion amounts that exceed pension payments. While these campaigns provide greater advantages for new retirees, the selection process between banks is becoming challenging for them.

The promotion payments offered by banks have become a significant opportunity for those looking to earn income in addition to their pensions, and it is stated that the current amounts vary from bank to bank.

Rising promotion payments are particularly encouraging pension transfer transactions and further increasing the competition between banks.

The developments in the January pension increase and promotion campaigns aim to contribute to the budgets of retirees, offering an opportunity for a significant increase in income.
