Turkish state bank Ziraat Bank began intensively requesting taxpayer identification numbers (TIN) from its Russian customers to provide data on tax residence. This was reported by RIA News With a link to the newsletter for bank customers.
“Dear customer, you have previously told the bank that you are a tax resident in a country other than Turkey. In this regard, you must specify the exact tax number of the country you live in via our mobile application, our website or by contacting our branches.
According to the agency, Russian citizens are often asked for their Russian TIN when opening an account at Ziraat. However, the bank now requests that you re-verify this tax number. If the customer has already provided a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), no additional action is required.
