All reputable payment processors were kicked out of the country and crypto is available in your region. I know some people are hesitant to try it but it's not hard and it actually works.
Be more specific, what's the problem? All countries have regulations now but it's generally in line with other payment methods e.g. you need to prove your identity on exchanges.New security laws have been introduced for cryptocurrency payments.

I'd like to explain something as well. Besides the security measures you mentioned, a statement is now mandatory when making a transfer, and if your statement isn't accepted, the transfer won't go through.ColdCristal wrote: ↑03 Mar 2026, 18:17Be more specific, what's the problem?

I see turkish customers buying consistently, so I don't think obstacles are as severe as you claim. Despite more regulations crypto is still the easiest method for international transfers available to turkish people. Not to mention it's the cheapest and safest.

The authorities want to ensure there is no money laundering involved. This investigation lasts at least 48 hours, provided it isn't rejected. I believe this is what my friend means.ColdCristal wrote: ↑04 Mar 2026, 13:47A statement of what?a statement is now mandatory when making a transfer

How come you still don't understand the situation? Local crypto exchanges don't allow us to send money to anonymous wallets. We need to register with a global exchange and transfer money from the local exchange to the global exchange. This requires a 72-hour waiting period. We understand that crypto payments offer you the advantage of privacy. The fact that some Turkish players can currently buy cheats doesn't mean the process is easy.ColdCristal wrote: ↑03 Mar 2026, 18:17Be more specific, what's the problem?

Is that really necessary? From my experience with turkish customers so far and AML procedures for crypto in general, you can still withdraw to your own personal wallets and you simply need to declare who's owner of that wallet. The common problem I see is that people are using exchanges as their only wallet provider and that was never the right way to use crypto. Exchanges should be treated as exchanges ONLY. After buying crypto you should always withdraw to your personal, real wallet with a private key you control e.g. Electrum, Electrum-LTC, MetaMask, etc. Analogy to regular cash is that you should treat exchange as an ATM, you take money from ATM to put it in your wallet and you pay in a shop using cash from said wallet.How come you still don't understand the situation?

I would gladly expand but there are no real existing alternatives from your region except resellers. Maybe one day a new reseller will show up but right now the trend is that customers just buy directly via existing options.If you add an alternative payment method now, you will gain many more customers.
