  • BT’s loan balance grew by RON 1.1 bn. during the third quarter, reaching RON 40.1 bln.

  • The Bank has granted more than 7,000 financing facilities via the government program IMM Invest, counting now over 18,000 SME clients with loans.

  • The retail business line added 30,900 loans in Q3, of which 2,600 real-estate loans, counting now more than 750,000 credited retail clients.

  • As always, the Bank focused on supporting retail, SME and mid-corporate clients, enforcing the economy’s baseline and an appropriate credit risk dispersion.

 

Although trends are less than favorable due to the pandemic, we remain optimistic and confident in the forthcoming recovery of the economy. We aim at increasing the lending granted by BT, in the most responsible and efficient way, supporting the economy and the bank’s growth. The current context, which has undoubtedly affected the whole world and possibly some developed economies to a larger extent, also brings new opportunities for Romania, an important advantage for us because nobody knows the market better as a Romanian bank” - said Mr. Ömer Tetik, CEO of Banca Transilvania.
