TU Expert Verdict

Chief Analytics Officer

İş Yatırım carries a higher degree of risk. My review and user feedback point to noticeable performance issues and limitations. It may be appropriate only for experienced traders who fully understand the risks and are prepared for potential instability.

Is Yatirim offers access to Turkish and international exchanges, trading in Forex, stock CFDs, indices, and commodities via the TradeMaster FX platform based on MetaTrader 5. The broker is part of Turkiye Is Bankasi, is listed on Borsa Istanbul, and regulated by the Capital Markets Board of Turkey. Clients can trade 15 currency pairs and a selection of CFDs, with liquidity from major banks and variable spreads with no trading commissions. The minimum deposit for a TradeMaster FX account is TRY 50,000, and mobile apps are available for market analysis and trading.

Drawbacks include a limited selection of instruments, no ECN or VIP accounts, leverage capped at 1:10, and bank transfer as the only deposit and withdrawal method. There are fees for deposits and withdrawals, and account management lacks support for bank cards and e-wallets. With basic customer service restricted to phone and email, and higher-than-average Forex spreads, Is Yatirim may not be suitable for cost-sensitive or beginner traders. It is better matched to experienced clients preferring a Turkish regulated broker and access to local markets.

I was looking for a universal broker to trade both securities and Forex for several months. İş Yatırım seemed a suitable option. First, it is really a reliable broker. Second, the trading platform to trade CFDs is based on MetaTrader 5, which features I know and like. Demo account is available, so I started with it.
All trading fees for currency pairs and indices are included in spreads. Spreads for major pairs in a calm market are 2-4 pips. There is a TRY 7.5 fee for deposits and withdrawals.

I trade CFDs on currencies and gold with İş Yatırım. Order execution is market, but buy stop limit and sell stop limit are unavailable. Spreads on all instruments are floating and there is no brokerage fee. If there are any questions, I call the hotline. I also close positions by phone, if the platform freezes suddenly. İş Yatırım doesn’t have a diverse range of currency pairs as compared to international brokers. But I want to trade through a local regulated intermediary, so I use what it offers.

İş Yatırım doesn’t interfere with my trading and always withdraws money. Unfortunately, the process isn’t instant, since all monetary transactions are made by bank transfers. It’s not important for withdrawals, but it can be critical for deposits. Often, when the market situation changes suddenly, you have to react quickly and open trades instantly, but you can’t trade if there is not enough money on the account. Over three years of working with İş Yatırım, I worked out a certain rule: to have up to TRY 10,000 on the account not to miss good trading opportunities.
