DEBIT & CREDIT CARDS
Put a travel advisory on your cards, so your transactions are not automatically declined. Your bank can also explain their fraud prevention procedures, such as mobile app notifications.
It’s always best to carry Turkish lira and U.S. dollars when off-installation. Some places take cards off base, but not always.
There is often fluctuation with the exchange rate with several lira to the dollar, so be aware of the difference in the currency’s worth.
