The Turkish CBI Bank Deposit option is unique because it leaves the investor in full control of their investment capital with the ability to withdraw their capital at any time. The Turkish bank deposit option involves an investor depositing USD 500,000 or more in a bank account with a major financial institution, which could be an international bank based in a foreign country, in Turkey. This bank account can be closed and the capital withdrawn by the investor at any time. Because the bank account can be held in United States Dollars investors are also not exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the Turkish Lire. As investors can withdraw their entire USD 500,000 interest-bearing deposit at any time the Turkish Bank Deposit option may be considered the cheapest CBI option in the world. Arguably this option is lesser known because of the inability of agents to earn large commissions.
