Western Union

Very bad experience , they give you only 1000 usd or euros , and very arrogant person. He couldn’t even write my name even proprely in the system and I was asked to contact the person who sent the money from another country even though there was no error. This was unnecessary and unhelpful. I do not recommend.

This Western Union location tried to cheat their customers. Says “we are only allowed to give $1,000 - the rest must be in Turkish Lira.” This is how these places make money, by scamming you on the exchange rate. Beware!!!!!!! Edit: the owner responds “not true” to any negative review. Our review is 100% true, and because the owner prefers to lie about their business practices instead of correcting them - we are now going to escalate this issue to Western Union corporate. Geşmiş Olsen abi, it’s one thing to try to take advantage of people - it’s another thing to then double down and lie about it. Employee had glasses, dark facial hair, and was standing behind your Western Union branded desk.

Nous y sommes allés 2x et nous avons chaque fois été très bien accueillis. J’avais un problème avec mon transfert et ils m’ont aidé à le régler avec bienveillance. Allez y si vous êtes un touriste (nous sommes tombés sur des Western Union moins honnêtes)

It is a really good office. I needed to receive an international transfer and there was a delay in my receiving the money due to one of their policies. The man on the staff Ahmed walked me through how to fix it. He was really polite and efficient in working with me to sort it out. I would recommend this Western Union and will use their services in Istanbul again when needed.

Отправляли в Европу перевод в наличных евро с паспортом РФ, всë отлично, взяли даже сильно крупные купюры, которые в Европе не везде возьмут :) Быстро и без проблем, через минут наши переводы уже получили. Очень спасли ребята!

This place is terrible and straight up scam tourists. Good luck if you try to come take dollars. They used every excuse possible to deny the transaction because they wanted to give me liras instead of dollars. I will be contacting the tourist police on them. They replied back saying they have no record of me. Of course you’re not going to keep record of an irate customer who didn’t fall for your scam. I am reading the other negative reviews and the same issue happened to me. I brought in all my documents and your scam artist agent refused to complete the transaction because he claimed he can’t get over $1500 in USD and I had to accept liras instead. When I declined he came up with some nonsense about my middle name when I have completed several western union transactions with the exact same profile. It’s clearly a scam and you don’t want to give USD and want people to accept liras with a very poor conversion rate. I contacted to locals authorities to let them know you scam tourists.
