The BT Italia story
The only Romanian bank in Italy
The story of Banca Transilvania in Italy began 12 years ago. We came to Rome primarily with the intention of serving our fellow Romanians living here. But anyone is welcome to do business with us, to come and share a story and a cappuccino, especially since our team includes both Romanians and Italians.
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 are here for whatever you need – bonuses, mortgages, or loans. If you are a private customer, we invite you to visit BT to open an account, apply for a debit card, keep your savings with us, send money home, and carry out cash transactions. If you need more money for your plans, we can help you with personal or home loans. We now also have the BT Pay Italia app.
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.
