Instant payments are gaining momentum: over 1 million transactions in RON in one month, via Banca Transilvania

Banca Transilvania surpassed in October the threshold of 1 million instant RON payments made in one month.

For customers of Romanian banks that participate in the Instant Payments system - so far, Banca Transilvania, BCR, BRD, Raiffeisen Bank, CEC Bank, Libra Internet Bank, Vista Bank, Patria Bank and Intesa Sanpaolo Bank - the Instant Payments service means the possibility to transfer money in a few seconds, free of charge and non-stop, through banking apps, Mobile Banking or Internet Banking.

Recently, in September, BT took a step forward regarding the instant transactions when it launched, for the first time on the market, Instant Collections in Eur. The adoption rate was very good from the very first day: 15% of Banca Transilvania's customers' EUR cash collections were Instant Collections.
