I have had problems from the Itkisat Bank changing method of payment via British Bank in UK.They did use LLoyds,but now Turkiye Is Bank.

The Pensions do not recognise the Sort Code in UK.



Anyone had problems ??

My last payment was Nov 2010.



I have accounts with Credit West and HSBC.

Does anyone get their pensions transfered to any of these Banks?



Thanks

Mike

Mike if you have a bank account in the uk, why not have it paid in there and use your card to get your money?

You can have your pension paid into any bank account in UK, then transfer it to a Nationwide account ( or have it paid there direct) and draw it in Sterling over here.

mikelapta,



Can't you give them your IBAN number? With your account name and number it's surely got to be acceptable....

I know that they will also send a cheque on a monthly basis, which you can cash at the bank.....and it turns up regular as clock work

Msg 6 I wouldnt trust the post here and if its a uk cheque you cant get the money for a month so add the time the cheque takes to get here and it could be two months with no money.
