His experience recommends him to continue the strategic direction started and to take Salt Bank to the next level of maturity, operational efficiency, and performance. We thank Gabriela Nistor for her essential contribution to the launch of the first 100% digital bank in Romania and for her 30-year journey at BT, continuing the success story as a member of the Board of Directors at two of the companies of the Banca Transilvania Group, Salt Bank and BT Direct.

Continuity in leadership

I am truly grateful for the trust that the Board of Directors and Gabriela have in me. This trust feels like a great responsibility, like a clear commitment to carry forward what we have built together and to do banking, but the way you want it. We do not change anything that brought us here. We continue in the same way: with speed, with direction, and with great attention to detail. We continue to grow, but we remain close to people and their everyday experience. That defines us.

Robert Anghel
CEO
Salt Bank

Less than two years ago, we launched Salt Bank, the first 100% digital bank in Romania. It grew spectacularly, but above all it grew with purpose. Today, Salt is no longer just the story of a bold launch, but clear proof that success was not a coincidence. It has become a benchmark in the market, including for expertise, and a name that naturally comes to mind when you say digital banking. For me, Salt is, without a doubt, the most beautiful project. A true gift for the entire career.
