Fee and commission calculation method for cards
- The percentage fees (%) are charged as a percent of the value of each transaction made by the client:“X % * of the transaction value performed, in the currency in which the card is denominated”.
- Fixed fees or charges (LEI/ EUR) are charged as a fixed amount per transaction made by the client:„X RON/ EUR / transaction”.
- Combined fees and charges of type “percentage + fixed amount”: for each individual transaction, a fee/charge will be applied consisting of a percentage of the transaction value plus a fixed amount charged for each completed transaction: "(X % * the transaction amount, in the currency in which the card is denominated) + Y Lei/EUR / transaction".
All fees are established in EUR, but they can be charged in lei equivalent or other convertible currencies, according to the client's request, at the BNR conversion rate on the day of their collection. Fees in foreign currency charged in “lei equivalent” are collected at the reference rate set by BNR, valid for the day of their collection. Fees retained by correspondent banks are charged to clients who have initiated the foreign currency operations.
ⁱ (a) Commissions for operations with payment orders listed at this point do not include commissions charged by intermediary banks.
- For payments under DSP* made at the counter, the amount of these fees will be calculated and communicated to the client at BT branches and agencies, before any transaction.
- For payments under DSP* made through the Internet banking service, the amount of these fees is available to customers in the application used
- For non-DSP* payments, the commissions of the intermediary banks are communicated to the clients and are withheld after the payment is made and will be borne as follows:
- In case of payments with the “OUR” option by the BT client ordering party of the payment
- In case of payments with the “BEN” option by the payment beneficiary
- For foreign currency payments that require modifications (e.g., discrepancy between the name and beneficiary account, beneficiary account and the currency sent), it is possible that the beneficiary bank will withhold an additional fee (repair charges); in this case, the fee requested by the beneficiary bank / modified foreign currency payment is communicated to clients and subsequently withheld after the payment is made, as they are received from the beneficiary bank.
