The 2025 pension promotion race has begun: Which bank is offering how much? How much are the pension promotions?

HOW MUCH ARE PENSION RAISES?

Following the announcement of the minimum wage increase, all eyes have turned to the raises to be applied to civil servant and pension salaries.

In his statement regarding the lowest pension, Minister Işıkhan said, "I would like to express that in January, after the inflation rates are determined, we may be involved in a study at the Economic Coordination Board regarding increasing the lowest pension."

BANK PROMOTION COMPETITION IS INCREASING

In the new year, banks have prepared special promotion packages for retirees. Promotion amounts vary according to salary levels. Average pension salary promotions are as follows:

Those receiving a salary of 10,000-15,000 TL: Up to 13,000 TL promotion.

Those receiving a salary of 15,000-20,000 TL: Up to 16,000 TL promotion.

Those receiving a salary of 20,000 TL and above: Up to 24,000 TL promotion.

While private banks offer promotion payments of up to 24,000 TL to retirees who transfer their salaries, those who have recently retired will also be able to benefit from these advantages.
