VakıfBank Sanal POS
A state-backed bank with one of Turkey's largest branch networks. VakıfBank's Sanal POS collects the card on its own hosted page, so you can accept Turkish Lira payments without touching a single card number.
About VakıfBank
VakıfBank was established in 1954 to invest and manage the resources of Turkey's foundations (vakıf). Seven decades later it's one of the country's largest banks, majority owned by the state through the Turkey Wealth Fund.
Headquarters
Ümraniye, Istanbul, Turkey.
Founded
1954.
Ownership
Majority owned by the Türkiye Wealth Fund (Türkiye Varlık Fonu), with the General Directorate of Foundations and a Borsa İstanbul free float holding the rest.
Scale
Turkey's second-largest bank by assets, with roughly 950 domestic branches and close to 19,000 employees, plus a presence in around ten countries.
Sellers who want the reach and reliability of a large, state-backed bank - and a branch in almost every Turkish city if you ever need to walk in and ask a question - tend to land on VakıfBank.
How to apply for a VakıfBank Sanal POS
1. Have a registered Turkish business
A company or sole proprietorship with an active tax registration.
2. Visit a VakıfBank branch
Sanal POS applications currently run through a branch rather than a fully online form. Ask for "Sanal POS" with the "Link ile Tahsilat" (payment link) option.
3. Submit standard merchant documents
A tax certificate, trade registry record, and signature circular for a company; ID and tax registration for a sole proprietorship; plus an IBAN for settlement.
4. Bank review
The branch forwards your application for approval.
5. Receive your login by email
Once approved, VakıfBank emails a username and password for the Sanal POS management portal.
6. Find your merchant details
Log into the portal's merchant operations area to find the merchant ID and terminal number you'll enter into TinyVendor.
Timing depends on the branch and how quickly your documents clear review, so it's worth asking your branch directly once you apply.
Selling with VakıfBank on TinyVendor
1. Add VakıfBank to TinyVendor
In your TinyVendor dashboard, add a payment gateway and choose VakıfBank. Enter the merchant ID, terminal number, and merchant password from your VakıfBank Sanal POS portal.
2. Create a sell link
Set your price and a short description.
3. Share it anywhere
A bio link, a message, a social post - no checkout page of your own to build.
4. Buyer pays on VakıfBank's hosted page
VakıfBank's own CommonPayment page collects the card and verifies with 3D Secure. Card data goes straight to the bank, never to TinyVendor or your own server, so there's no PCI scope for you.
5. Order appears in your dashboard
The moment VakıfBank confirms the payment server-to-server, the order shows up in TinyVendor - from a phone just as easily as a desktop.

How do I apply for a VakıfBank Sanal POS?

Do I need to write code to accept VakıfBank payments on TinyVendor?
No. Enter your merchant credentials once, create a sell link, and VakıfBank's own hosted page handles the checkout.
Does TinyVendor support installment payments with VakıfBank?
Not currently. VakıfBank orders on TinyVendor process as a single card payment rather than an installment plan.
