    RAPID HELP

    Exchange rate (exchange rate) represents the price of a monetary unit of one country's currency expressed in monetary units of another country. 🌍

    How many types of courses are there?

    ⠀Reference exchange rate: at 13:00 on each trading day, the NBR calculates the arithmetic mean of the exchange rates (the "BID" /"ASK" quote) of the 10 main banks in the system. 

    The resulting value, as an average, is published on the NBR website and in various systems (Bloomberg, Reuters, etc.), and is also picked up by the media. 📈

    Thus, this course has no direct relevance to intraday trading. 

    It is only a reference price, a "midprice" quote (average of "BID" / "ASK"), set today and used the next day in accounting records for tax reasons. 🤓


    ⠀Market rate: formed at the interbank level, depending on the supply and demand ratio.



    What are the market rates?

    ⠀BID rate(or purchase rate): this is the rate at which the party "showing" the price (in our case, the bank) buys the base currency against the other currency.

    ⠀ASK rate(or selling rate): this isthe rateat which the party "showing" the price (in our case, the bank) sells the base currency against the other currency.



    What are the courses based on the payment term?

    Spot rate orFX transaction "tdy"(today); "tom" (tomorrow); "spot" (over two days): a transaction to sell or buy an amount in one currency in exchange for another currency. 

    The exchange rate is pre-set and can have three transaction settlement dates:

    "tdy": today (t+0);

    "tom": tomorrow (t+1);

    "spot": two days later (t+2).


    ⠀Forward rate (FORWARD)orFX forward transaction*: this is the sale/purchase of an amount in one currency in exchange for another currency. 

    The transaction is executed on a fixed date in the future and at a predetermined exchange rate on the transaction date, with the actual settlement of the amounts taking place on the agreed date. 📆

    *What a forward rate is NOT:

    ⠀market expectations for the spot rate;

    ⠀indication or estimate of the future spot rate.



    What causes exchange rate fluctuations?

    In a free market, the exchange rate is determined by the ratio between currency supply and demand:

    ⠀High demand for foreign currency leads to an increase in its price, resulting in the depreciation of the national currency.

    ⠀A large supply of currency leads to a decline in the exchange rate, resulting in the appreciation of the national currency.


    Factors influencing currency supply and demand will have a direct impact on exchange rate developments. 💱


    Among the most important factors influencing the exchange rate are:

    ⠀speculative actions: large short-term inflows/outflows of cash;

    ⠀political factors (examples of positive factors: legislative stability, long-term projects);

    ⠀central bank interventions in the market: liquidity injections/withdrawals, currency purchases/sales;

    ⠀monetary financial factors: market interest rates, trade balance, budget deficit;

    ⠀internal economic factors: production volume, labor productivity, quality of goods and services, purchasing power, etc.;

    ⠀external factors: political (alliances, military conflicts), economic (free trade areas, economic crises in trading partner areas), etc.

    To withdraw an amount greater than RON 40,000 or EUR 5,000, you need to make an appointment at the agency at least 24 hours in advance.

    Scheduling is necessary because, for security reasons, both for customers and employees, we do not keep large amounts of cash in neighborhood branches. Therefore, for large withdrawals, the branch must be notified in advance so that the cash can be brought to the branch. 😊

    In addition, you should be aware that Romanian law sets maximum limits on cash transactions, namely: RON 10,000 per day for payments to legal entities. In the case of individuals, there is generally no limit imposed by law. However, you should bear in mind that any cash transaction exceeding EUR 10,000 or the equivalent—regardless of currency—is automatically reported to the National Office for Preventing and Combating Money Laundering, in accordance with Law 129/2019 on preventing and combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

    Also, cash transactions carried out by individuals as a result of the transfer of ownership of goods, the provision of services, as well as those representing the granting or repayment of loans, may be carried out within a daily limit of RON 50,000 per transaction. Under these conditions, for larger amounts,supporting documents📃 are required, which may include affidavits from customers (regarding the destination of the amounts).

    Given these conditions, banks (including Banca Transilvania) are required to monitor compliance with the established limits and, implicitly, to request supporting documents for cash withdrawals exceeding certain amounts.

    Basically, according to the law, the Bank is required to request supporting documents for transactions by individuals exceeding RON 50,000 per transaction.

    Is it beneficial for society and customers that there is legislation requiring proof of the destination of funds?

    🤓 Yes, we believe so – especially since this legislation is similar in all civilized countries and throughout Europe. It is a good thing to have rules and to have transactions verified in order to ensure transparency of transactions, the purpose for which they are carried out, and to ensure that illegal activities are not easily carried out. In other words, these legal limits and regulations – which exist throughout Europe – help to ensure that we have a solid society and financial ecosystem, with rules and protection from illegal activities.

    If you are registered with the Credit Bureau, it does not necessarily mean that you can no longer take out a loan with us. Instead, it means that we will look at your financial and family situation alongside the situation you present to the Credit Bureau. This is how we will see if you are eligible for a new loan, according to BT's lending rules and policies.

    If you are considering taking out a new loan, you can calculate the monthly installments online using the the BT loan simulator and then find out by phone if you qualify for the desired amount. Come to any BT branch to discuss all the details or check out our website, where we have prepared all the loan options for you. 😉

    *It is important to note that the results from the simulator are indicative. You can get a personalized response at any of our branches, where a consultant will discuss your options with you.
