PFAs can open a remote account with BT

Banca Transilvania supports PFAs (Authorized Natural Persons) for whom this period is a challenge. BT's individual customers can open a PFA account remotely, without having to make a trip to the bank.

With this account, PFAs can benefit from technical unemployment benefit, with state funding.

The steps are as follows:

• The PFA must already have a personal account with Banca Transilvania;
• Call 0264 30 80 00;
• Receive an SMS with a link to the BT Visual Help application;
• Select, in BT Visual Help: Natural person, and from the main menu choose the option to open a PFA account;
• BT will contact the customer within 24 hours to finalize the account opening;
• Receive a link by email, valid for 72 hours, where a series of scanned documents must be uploaded. The original documents must be submitted at any of Banca Transilvania's offices within 30 days from the end of the emergency.

Documents required to open the account:
