Press Release on Increasing FAST System Transaction Limits

As of 4 April 2024, the FAST transaction limits will be raised to TRY 100,000 for money transfers and TRY 250,000 for merchant payments using FAST-TR QR Code.

The system is rapidly becoming widespread as an alternative method to cash and card payments for purchasing transactions.
