⚠️ Important:
Knowingly and willingly allowing your bank accounts or digital wallets registered in your name to be used by others under pretexts such as “earning commissions”, “assisting with debt repayment”, “using just once”, “harmless money transfer” or similar justifications may entail criminal and legal liability within the scope of the Turkish Penal Code and relevant legislation.

Regardless of who physically executes the transaction, you may be held responsible as the account holder for any transactions conducted through your accounts.
Consequences you may face if you allow others to use your account:
- Being subject to judicial investigations and prosecutions,
- Having a criminal record,
- Being evaluated as a high-risk customer by banks,
- Imposition of restrictions on your bank accounts,
- Rejection of your loan and credit card applications,
- Implementation of judicial control measures (including a ban on leaving the country),
- Lawsuits for damages filed by victims.
In such cases, explanations such as “I didn't know”, “I wanted to help” or “I am only an intermediary” may not provide legal protection.
