[FUPS Guide] Setting up a FUPS Card in Australia ~ $5 Initial Investment IOS/Android (No VPN Required)

Moved to Forum: Original Link

This guide may be outdated as FUPS now requests for a Turkish ID on signup

Firstly, What is FUPS?

FUPS is your personal Turkish card with a limit of 2750 liras per month (limit updated on the 1st of each month).
Features:

  • 3DS supported. You will receive a confirmation in the FUPS app for purchases
  • Low prices for Turkish subscriptions and services like PlayStation, Google Play, Steam, IOS AppStore, Spotify and Youtube (almost anything except Russia)

Given that many bargains posted here are for Turkish subscriptions, I felt that providing people with a way to obtain a Turkish Virtual Card was a bargain in itself.

Step 1 — Setting Up a FUPS Card

  • Download the FUPS app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
  • Upon opening the app, click on the 3 dots at the top right corner, then the first option, and then change the language to English if you wish to do so.
  • Next, click on Register and fill out your name and surname (you can use a fake name) or scroll down and you can choose to register with Apple, Google, or Facebook. Toggle the third switch to agree to their ToS and click Start.
  • Enter your email. I personally use my personal email but
    ** You can use an email hiding service like Apple's Hide My Email (need iCloud+ subscription) or DuckDuckGo's Email Protection (free).
    ** Tip: Use https://ddgep.vercel.app/email to avoid installing their extension.
  • Enter the verification code you got to continue to the next step.
  • Now you need to enter a mobile number. I personally use https://5sim.net and deposit using crypto (it costs $0.60 AUD per text) since this is a throwaway number, once you are verified, make sure you DO NOT logout of your FUPS account otherwise you will lose your funds because you won’t be able to log back in. You can also use services like Dingtone and PingMe that are on the app store to ‘rent’ a turkish number
  • Once that's done, you have created a FUPS account and you can use the app, follow any other on screen instructions and you should be directed to your FUPS dashboard

Step 2 — Adding a Card

In order to add a debit card, you will need to buy a turkish vcc from a third party provider if you do not live in turkey. I personally use https://plati.market and paid using crypto to avoid the stripe fees. You can also find sellers that accept PayPal

To buy the card:

  • Navigate to https://plati.market and search ‘FUPS Card’
  • Choose a seller. I personally choose the listings with a green background, these sellers normally have good reviews, verified identities and lots of previous sale histories but you are free to choose which one.
  • Once you have found a seller, pay for the card and wait. The card usually comes as a .jpg normally sent to your email through an ibb link to a screenshot
  • Save the card details and the QR Code on the card

Adding the card to FUPS

  • Once you have the card info, add it to FUPS by going to ‘Transactions’ -> ‘New Card’ -> ‘Identify Card’
  • Scan the QR Code you received that is on the card or manually enter the card QR Details
  • Once that’s done, you have a FUPS card ready to be used.

Step 3 — Topping up the Card

  • Revolut (Wise not tested) Vakifbank*
  • On your FUPS Dashboard, click the green Top Up button and select, top up from bank, I personally use Vakifbank, not down your Account Number (Reference) the IBAN and the Name. You will also need the address and BIC/SWIFT, the one for VakifBank is:

Street and number: SARAY MAHALLESI DR ADNAN B, NO 7/A-B UMRANIYE
Zip code: 34768
Town/City: ISTANBUL
BIC/SWIFT: TVBATR2A

  • In Revolut, top up your balance and convert to to TRY, the in the Transfer tab, click ‘New’ in the top right, then click Business
  • Change the country to Turkey, Currency to Turkish Lira
  • Enter the IBAN, BIC/SWIFT, Name and leave the email blank
  • Click next and enter the address
  • At the final setup, in the reference box, enter your FUPS account number (you should’ve copied this down earlier)
  • Wait…

Revolut usually takes one day to process the deposits depending on time of day butt after Revolut has processed it, it should only take around 30 minutes to 2 hours for the money to be debited to your FUPS account.

FUPS doesn’t take any fees so what you deposited from Revolut is what you get in FUPS however there is some Revolut fees. Also if you want to topup Oldubil you can with your FUPS account, there are also no fees associated with doing that,

    • I kind of get it, but what I am worried about is the no logging out thing. What happens if you get logged out and you used 5sim? And you aren't 100% sure what your last 4 purchases were?

        Are there princes now in Turkey i can give my money to, what happened to all the Nigerian ones?

        That opening post sounds like its just one way to lose money after another…

      What the FUPS?

  • +1

    If your doctor told you you suffer from FUPS then there is good chance you suffer from FUPS.
    FUPS isn't something you have to FUPS with on a daily basis
    So, to FUPS you manage your FUPS FUPS now has a FUPS to help you FUPS your FUPS.
    Now, everyone can give a FUPS.

      Jesse, what the FUPS are you talking about

    Where's the bargain? Nowhere in the post does it offer any bargains.
    This is not setupfups.com.au it's OZBARGAIN

  • -1

    FUP off

  • i love how on ozbargain you get 7 downvotes because you acquire some trolls over time who see your username and decide to pile on every petty chance they get

    makes me glad im not one of those sad folk

  • After setting up Revolut and Oldubil, it feels pretty bad to have to set up a 3rd service. If someone does have this set up and wants some coin for a coffee, happy to chat via DM!

    • Forgot you need to turn on messaging, woops, fixed that now.

  • hello, was i meant to provide the account number or credit card number in the reference?

    • account number, there is a copy paste button in the topup screen in FUPS

  • I've followed all steps. Now just waiting on money to be transfered to FUPS card. fingers crossed this works

    • How did you go?
      Did a test a few hours ago - sent at Revoluts end but not received yet by FUPS.

      • It took a while but late last night I got the Revolut notification to say the money had been transfered to my FUPS account. took over 24hours. So now I just need to check the FUPS card works on ps5 to buy games from Turkey store. But so far, so good.

        • Quick update: FUPS card worked fine on PS5. I was able to buy game from turkey psn store. :) Just takes a few days to get money transfered to revolut - then to FUPs.:(

  • Sorry just to confirm once you get a FUPS card you can add the Virtual card to PSN etc exactly like the Oldubil card?

    What would be the point in transferring funds from FUPS to Oldubil if you can just use the FUPS card? Is it more the convenience if you have already setup the Oldubil card and its free to transfer from FUPS to Oldubil?

    • +1

      yes it is for convenience. A lot of people already have Oldubil setup so they feel lazy to change to the FUPS card
      But yes, you do not need an Oldubil card if you have a FUPS card.

  • For some reason I got logged out of my FUPS account. I'm trying to log back in as I have access to the turkish number (friend lives in turkey) that I signed up with but it says that it's failed and to reset your password. But when I try to reset the password using that number, it gives me an error saying unablke to perform action you requested.

    Anyone in a similar problem?

    • Can you still purchase using the card attached to your account or is it locked?

      • Well my Oldubil card is still active. Just can't top up using the FUPS card.

    • Same issue

  • Anyone having any issues transferring from FUPS to OlduBuli?

    The 3ds thing isnt working at all.

    The 3ds thing spins for a bit then goes blank. Then the next page I can Send and then it throws a Server Unavailable error.

    • +1

      For me, I sometimes happens to me and when it happens I just try again and most times on the 3rd try it works

      • I've tried about 30 times. I think this is a different issue to what you and others are having. Getting no notifications at all to the FUPS app or anything.

      • +1

        Ok tried this morning and it worked. The 3ds page had a drop down to choose the mobile number or iOS for the push which wasn’t there yesterday for some reason.

        • good to hear it worked for you :)

  • Got banned I think, auto logged out and gets an error when putting the number in to reset.

  • Contacted FUPS cause I got auto-logged out after the IOS update and got a reply.

    "Hello,
    In order to take action or make technical examination on an account/card, account owner’s “on call verification” is mandatory due to legal protocols (KVKK). You need to get in touch with our customer services on 0 850 226 36 46 about this inquiry, between 08:00-18:00 in working days for English/Arabic support.
    Sincerely,
    FUPS"

    So I think that's ggs

    • Just tried to sign up for a FUPS account and it's demanding a Turkish ID number, I don't think there is any way to bypass verification in FUPS or Oldubill anymore :(

  • OlduBil are changing their Terms and Conditions and only allowing "Anonymous" Cards for retailers in their "Trusted" list. They're encouraging anyone with funds in their accounts to spend them by tonight. I don't know if this means they'll be closing accounts or what though.

    The sites with the "Trust Stamp" are here

    Is there a service where you can purchase a permanent Turkish mobile number for SMS use only? One that isn't overly expensive?

  • Can anyone confirm that FUPS signup is still possible and thus working?

    • Method dead, requires Turkish ID for signup now

      They ban accounts so quick anyway, was barely a method
