Section 01 · TR note
Turkey starts with payment/e-money versus crypto-asset routing.
The note separates CBRT, CMB and banking assumptions before filing.
A Turkey project needs early authority mapping because payment/e-money activity and crypto-asset exposure can sit in different regulatory conversations.
SKY7 reviews the customer base, local partner plan, payment flows, token/custody handling, governance and capital assumptions before recommending the route.
The route is usually compared with EEA, UAE and other regional options when the client needs cross-border market access rather than Turkey itself.

Questions · TR
Turkey route checks before a filing decision.
These checks keep the Turkey route tied to the actual CBRT · CMB perimeter, not a generic jurisdiction shortlist.
Q.01When does Turkey fit?
It fits when the operating model matches Payment/e-money · Crypto asset and the team can evidence ownership, customer geography and banking assumptions before approaching CBRT · CMB.
Q.02Which scope needs checking first?
Start with Payment/e-money · Crypto asset; SKY7 then confirms whether adjacent activities change the permission set, capital treatment or local substance plan.
Q.03What evidence should be ready?
CBRT · CMB will expect a coherent ownership, AML/CFT, governance and evidence file.
Q.04What can move the timeline?
The 6-9 mo planning signal can move with regulator queue, ownership complexity, AML/CFT evidence and banking or provider acceptance.
Section 03 · TR SKY7 check
What SKY7 checks before recommending Turkey.
