International Payments and Logistics Services in Istanbul

Why Istanbul matters for global financial logistics

Istanbul holds a unique geopolitical and economic position between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. As Türkiye’s largest city and a major commercial center, Istanbul has long been a bridge between continents, serving as a hub for banking, trade, shipping, and real estate. Today, this position translates into high demand for international payments and logistics services—both for individuals and businesses operating in cross-border environments.

With its modern infrastructure, robust financial sector, and diversified property market, Istanbul attracts international buyers, developers, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). These clients require secure and compliant ways to transfer funds, pay for overseas assets or services, and manage international shipments—ranging from legal documents to furniture, electronics, and business goods. Istanbul’s connectivity, competitive financial environment, and access to local and international expertise make it a key location for executing such operations with efficiency and trust.

Legal and tax safety for cross-border deals

Conducting international financial transactions requires more than just a good exchange rate. It involves legal frameworks, banking compliance, currency controls, and proper documentation. Istanbul’s integration into the global financial system enables well-regulated money transfers and international deals—but each transaction must comply with multiple regulatory environments.

VelesClub Int. works with certified legal advisors and tax consultants to ensure all aspects of your transaction—whether incoming or outgoing—meet local and international laws. This includes:

• Ensuring KYC and AML requirements are met on both ends of the transfer
• Providing documentation of source of funds, declarations, and confirmations
• Setting up escrow accounts with conditional release protocols
• Managing cross-border compliance for Russian clients subject to currency control
• Verifying property documents, contracts, and bank statements for property purchases
• Facilitating due diligence for business-related international payments

In addition, our team ensures all logistics transactions—from document shipping to goods transportation—are supported by customs declarations, certified invoices, and insurance when necessary. Clients can choose to receive detailed reports and full contract packages, allowing easy use for audit, immigration, or residency applications.
