Banking in Turkey is really made for smartphone users!
Garanti Bank sends you an SMS when you order online for security, and the Garanti app on your phone enable you to do everything without really needing a computer.
Another great functionality of this app is that you can actually withdraw money ONLY WITH YOUR PHONE if you forgot your wallet at home!
It is even easier than inserting your card and having to type your PIN!
(I actually don’t use my card anymore!)
