Anadolubank A.s. SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Anadolubank A.s.

ANDLTRIS and ANDLTRISXXX are two spellings of the same SWIFT/BIC code, and both point to Anadolubank A.s. in Istanbul. The code does one job: it makes sure that an international payment ends up at the right bank. You will need it mostly for payments that cross a border.

We wrote this page to help anyone who sends money to an account at Anadolubank A.s. and wants to get the details right. The SWIFT code on its own cannot identify an individual account holder; for that you need the IBAN or account number .

Transfer times and tracking a payment to Anadolubank A.s.

How quickly a payment arrives at Anadolubank A.s. is determined by a few things: which currency you send, how many intermediary banks are involved, cut-off times and differences in time zone. Weekends and public holidays in either country add a day or more, since banks do not process on those days. Occasionally a bank wants to know what the payment is for.

Many banks use SWIFT gpi. Each payment carries a unique transaction reference, the UETR. Save the payment confirmation.

The bank that sent the money is able to start an official trace or a recall. As a recipient, you can check your statements to see a partial amount because fees can reduce the amount.

Which of the 2 codes of Anadolubank A.s. do you need?

Anadolubank A.s. has 2 separate SWIFT/BIC codes. Only one is the head office code, ANDLTRISXXX; the rest identify branches or departments.

Unless the recipient tells you otherwise, go with ANDLTRISXXX or its short form ANDLTRIS. When you receive a branch code, use it as it is instead of replacing it with the head office code.

The best way is to take the code directly from the recipient’s statement. Branch codes are sometimes changed or retired when banks reorganise, so a code from an old document is not always valid.

Paying into Anadolubank A.s. in TRY

Türkiye uses the Turkish Lira. If you send another currency it has to be converted somewhere along the way. You rarely see a separate charge for the conversion – the cost sits in the rate.

Who does the conversion has an effect on the final amount, as rates and margins differ per bank. In many cases it is cheaper if you send TRY straight away via a transfer service that converts near the mid-market rate, so that the receiving bank does not need to convert again.

Rates for TRY change during the day, and some providers let you lock in a rate. For recurring payments, small differences in the rate add up over a year.

8 or 11 characters: ANDLTRIS versus ANDLTRISXXX

The layout of every SWIFT code is always the same: four characters for the institution, two for the country and a two-character location code. The result is ANDLTRIS.

XXX at the end of ANDLTRISXXX is not a missing value or an error: it indicates the head office of Anadolubank A.s.. Some banking apps ask for 11 characters, and then you can enter XXX after ANDLTRIS.

Leave out spaces or dashes when you type ANDLTRIS or ANDLTRISXXX. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 and the letter I and the digit 1, a common source of typos.

Scams that use SWIFT codes

A common scam works like this: an email arrives with a request claiming that a supplier has a new bank account and asking you to pay there from now on. That ANDLTRIS is a real code does not mean that the account is genuine; criminals use the codes of real banks too.

Check changed bank details via a different channel like a call to a number from an earlier contract. Be suspicious of time pressure, odd spelling or an email address that differs by one letter. Acted too fast? Call the bank you paid from without delay and ask them to start a recall; also report it to the police.

Scams also target the receiver. Someone sends more than agreed and asks you to refund the extra via a different route. Wait until the money is actually in your account and check with Anadolubank A.s. if anything seems off.

Is ANDLTRIS still correct? How to check

The most reliable source for the BIC is the bank details provided by the recipient – an invoice, a statement or a screenshot from online banking. Check it against ANDLTRIS here.

An incorrect BIC can cause delays, a returned payment or additional charges. A mistake in the account number is a bigger problem; check it just as carefully.

Many banking apps validate the format of IBANs and some suggest the matching BIC – that confirms the format, not the owner. Where available, a payee name check on the recipient gives extra certainty. Sending a small amount first can be a sensible step for large sums.

What a transfer from Anadolubank A.s. abroad really costs

When you send money abroad from Anadolubank A.s., the visible fee is only part of the cost. Besides the transfer fee, banks in between can take a cut, and if the money changes currency the bank usually uses a rate that is less favourable than the actual market rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, rather than in the fee: many banks convert at a rate that includes a margin. A simple test: set the rate you get next to the mid-market rate and work out the difference on your amount.

Money transfer services often offer rates closer to the mid-market rate with clearer fees. GoldexPay compares transfer providers next to each other, showing the amount the recipient gets for the same amount sent. Choosing a specialist does not require leaving Anadolubank A.s.: you simply pay the service from your account.

Getting paid from abroad into a Anadolubank A.s. account

For an international payment at Anadolubank A.s., the person paying you needs not just the BIC. The basics are: the account holder’s name, account number or IBAN, ANDLTRISXXX and, for some countries, your postal address.

It helps to include the bank name and Istanbul too, since some forms ask for it. A typo in your account number is more trouble than it looks.

An incoming payment will not always land in full. Fees for incoming transfers differ from bank to bank – the price list of Anadolubank A.s. tells you what applies. For business payments, you can agree how the fees are split, so that nobody is left short.
