You love basketball, just like we do. And we also know that if you’re a basketball fan, you’re a shopping fan too. Stay tuned on Monday, September 4, from 00:00 until September 5, 24:00! We’re launching a new online banking shopping campaign, and this time we’re putting banking and basketball on the same team: BANKschet. After all, EuroBasket is on right now. Cluj is one of the host cities, and BT is the main partner of this sporting event, the biggest ever organized in Romania.

The BANKschet campaign, running on the BT website, comes with cool products, bonuses and freebies — it’s up to you what you pick. The STAR credit card gets you RON 100 in STAR points, which you can spend on future purchases. Or you can order a BT card personalized with the image you want — maybe EuroBasket, Romania’s national basketball team or your favourite player — and that card comes with a RON 50 gift. Or order the BT Contactless Wristband, which you can use in place of a bank card. And the good news keeps coming: BANKschet also gives you a free 3‑month subscription to BT24 Internet Banking and Mobile Banking. Just add one or more of the products shown to your cart (not the basketball kind :)).

BT + basketball + EuroBasket = BANKschet

We’ve had plenty of practice with bank shopping campaigns — from Bank Friday, Bank to school, Un mai muncitoresc, BaBeTe or DragoBT to the newest one, BANKschet. What inspired us? Basketball and, right now, EuroBasket, the Men’s European Basketball Championship, hosted September 1–7 in Cluj-Napoca and, in parallel through September 17, in Tel Aviv, Helsinki and Istanbul. Our bank is the number-one supporter of Romanian basketball and the main partner of EuroBasket 2017. From supporting basketball to a themed bank shopping campaign was just a step — or a pass :).

Team BANKschet

2 cards, a contactless wristband, Internet Banking and Mobile Banking from BT make up Team BANKschet. Here are the details on each “player” :) and what’s in it for you as a basketball fan:

A gift of RON 100 in points on the BT STAR card

First, here’s why the STAR card is… a star :): every time you pay with it, you earn loyalty points (also STAR) or you can shop in interest-free instalments at more than 10,000 STAR partners, across a wide range of sectors — from fashion to travel agencies, home decor, etc. In other words, both in basketball and with the STAR card, the more points you rack up, the better.

What do STAR points mean? For every purchase made with the STAR card you get up to 15% of its value back, as points that accrue on your card. Think of it like a game score: the more points, the better — only here 1 STAR point equals RON 1.

What’s more: you can spend STAR points later on other purchases at STAR partners. Apply for a card with a credit limit of at least RON 2,000. Then head to a BT ATM to activate it by September 30, and you’re good to go shopping!

The BT card personalized with your photo

The BT card personalized with your photo is seriously cool. Besides looking exactly how you want, thanks to BANKschet you get a RON 50 gift!

How about a shot of your favourite basketball player? Sounds good, looks great.

The BT Contactless Wristband, always to hand

Heading out for a walk or… shooting hoops with friends and don’t want to take your wallet or card with you? Enjoy the convenience of the BT Contactless Wristband! Yes, a wristband acting as a bank card, with access to the money in your current account. It helps you pay fast, in Romania and abroad.

If you’re already our client and you already have a BT debit card, perfect. The wristband will be a new way to shop, instead of the card.

If you’re not a BT client or don’t yet have such a card with us, apply and we’ll make sure you receive one together with the wristband.
