Details on Exchange Rate Protected TL Participation Account

The details of the Exchange Rate Protected TL Participation Account offered with the assurance of Kuveyt Türk are as follows:

• All payments are made in TL.
• Whether the account holder will receive an exchange rate difference is calculated based on the data announced by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT) at 11:00 between the beginning and end of the term. According to the comparison made after the calculation:
  • If the profit share return is higher than the foreign exchange return, only the profit share payment is made at the end of the term.
  • If the exchange return is higher than the profit share return, Kuveyt Türk transfers the profit share payment to your account. The difference between the exchange rate difference and profit share returns is transferred to Kuveyt Türk in TL by the CBRT to be credited to your account.
• You are allowed to withdraw from your account before the term date. However, when such a withdrawal is made, your Exchange Rate Protected TL Participation Account will be closed, and the remaining balance will be transferred to your current account.
• You may also close your account before the term. In this case, the suitable one of the following two actions is taken:
  • If the foreign exchange buying rate announced by the CBRT at 11:00 on the closing date of the account is lower than the rate announced at the same time at the beginning of the term, the account balance will be updated according to the exchange rate on the closing date. This difference, which eliminates the profit share return, may decrease the principal balance.

• Withdrawals and closures can be made during the day after the CBRT announces the 11:00 foreign exchange buying rate. For requests submitted on weekends, the exchange rate announced by the CBRT at 11:00 on the last business day will be taken into account.
