Turkey’s payment landscape in 2026 is shaped by strong credit and debit card usage. Cards remain the primary payment method, while local e-wallets like Papara account for around 18% of transaction volume. For merchants, optimizing for international card payments is key to reaching consumers and unlocking growth in Turkey’s card-led digital economy.
