The BT Italia story

08 January 2024 Reading time 3:00 minutes

The only Romanian bank in Italy

Banca Transilvania's story in Italy began 11 years ago. We came with the idea of being in Rome primarily for our Romanians here. But anyone, at any time, is welcome to do banking with us, to come for a story and a cappuccino, especially since we are both Romanians and Italians in the team.

Hi, I'm in Rome!

Ciao, we've arrived in Rome! was our message in 2014 when we opened our Italian branch in Via Baldo degli Ubaldi 184 B. We appeared in a country with traditional, sophisticated banking and people just like us, with plans to replicate in another country some of the success we have in Romania. We remember that period with nostalgia, with all that it meant.

What sets us apart

As they say, What's ours is put away. So it is in banking. What makes us different?

  • We are the only Romanian bank in Italy.

  • We are also the only bank where, if you want a home in Romania, you can get a loan from us if you have a work contract in Italy.

Banking with BT Italia

We're here for what you need - bonifici, mutuo or prestito 😊. If you're an individual customer, we're waiting for you at BT to open an account, apply for a CiaoBT debit card, BT24 Internet Banking, keep your savings with us, send money home and make cash transactions. If you need more money for your plans, we can help you with personal or home loans.

If you have a company, so much the better: you can open an account with us, make deposits, etc. You can make transactions, exchange money, we have POS and eCommerce solutions. Yes, we also have loans.

There are now 7,000 Romanian and Italian customers working with BT Italia. 300 of them are companies and we are happy to support entrepreneurship here too.
