Turkey introduces a mandatory Secure Payment System for real estate transactions, requiring sale prices to be held in blocked bank accounts until title transfer is complete. The system aims to eliminate risks of cash handling, counterfeit money, and under-declared prices while ensuring simultaneous exchange of property title and payment. Implementation has been postponed to December 1, 2026, pending completion of technical infrastructure between land registry authorities and banking institutions.

With the Regulation Amending the Regulation on Real Estate Trade, which was published in the Official Gazette dated 29 April 2026 and numbered 33238, the use of the secure payment system in real estate sale transactions had been made mandatory as of 1 July 2026. However, with the Regulation Amending the Regulation on Real Estate Trade, published in the Official Gazette dated 1 October 2026 and numbered 33387, the date for the mandatory implementation of the secure payment system was postponed to 1 December 2026.
