The Era of Forgery in Documents is Closing: The Era of QR Codes and Watermarks

A revolutionary step is being taken in the financial world. With the **11th Judicial Package**, which will be presented to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey in October, bills and bonds will now begin to be prepared with **watermarked** production. This innovation is being implemented to prevent counterfeiting.

With the new regulation, each bill will be registered in the **e-Government** system and equipped with a **QR code**. This will allow the authenticity of the document to be verified instantly. Counterfeit bills will be detected more easily through this system. The risk for both individual investors and commercial organizations will be significantly reduced.

The QR code on bills will both increase security and contribute to speeding up transactions. Users will be able to learn the validity of a bill within seconds by scanning the QR code with a mobile application or browser. This system will particularly increase transparency in financial transactions and be a significant step in combating fraud.

Technically, the production of bills in this manner could create a new business model for financial service providers. Banks and financial institutions will have the opportunity to offer more reliable services by utilizing QR code and e-Government integrations. This will also increase competition in the financial sector and pave the way for the development of innovative solutions.

This step taken to prevent counterfeiting will also directly impact commercial life. SMEs, in particular, had been experiencing significant losses due to counterfeit bills. Having a reliable financial document system will now prevent such problems.

In conclusion, the application of QR codes and watermarks on bills will provide a much safer financial environment for both individual and corporate investors. The regulation, which will be on the Parliament's agenda in October, is considered an important step towards ensuring the transparency of the financial system, in addition to combating counterfeiting. With this innovation, Turkey's financial system will be built on more solid foundations and will set an example internationally.
