“In 2024, we continue to develop a banking business model anchored in prosperity, as a result of financially intelligent choices. This model is based on understanding people’s needs and financing the real economy. In fact, the first quarter represented the planning and launch of the Alege bine pentru tine campaign, which is a concrete response to the conversations we have with our customers on a daily basis: whether we are talking about more than 675,000 people who have graduated Money School or to over 513,000 who have accesed a personalized financial plan through Financial Coaching sessions. BCR’s offer has been created with our clients and provides smart financial solutions in all the aspects – from competitive interest rates, credit-related cost efficiency and cash back to shopping, alongside a broad portfolio of savings and investment products,” said Sergiu Manea, CEO Banca Comercială Română (BCR).

All together, we provide expertise and financing to make Romanian businesses long term relevant and create jobs in value-added sectors. Every interaction we have with entrepreneurs is based on knowledge transfer, strategic management and business performance, with essential information about diversifying sources of funding, access the European funds and the importance of the twin transition to a green and digital economy.”
