About USD to TRY
The lira floats and has lost much of its value against the dollar in recent years amid high inflation in Türkiye, so the rate can change noticeably within weeks.
Travellers often find card payments in lira cheaper than exchanging cash at airports or hotels. Always choose to pay in lira when a card terminal offers a choice.
For property, tuition or business payments in Türkiye, check the rate on the day you pay — a quote from last month may already be out of date.
Assumptions
- The rate is a mid-market reference rate, not a bank’s buy or sell price.
- Rates are published once per working day and cached on your device for up to an hour.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a bank or exchange shop to give you the reference rate exactly.
- Forgetting to check the publication date on weekends and public holidays.
