School’s back and there’s always something else to buy, especially for the kids. We know how it is :). Instead of supplies, a backpack, books and clothes — you’ve probably sorted those already — we’re suggesting something different. We’ve thought of things that help you be a modern, resourceful parent or a cool teenager.

How about a BT card customized with a photo from your vacation? Or insurance for your child? Or a STAR shopping card or a travel card? A contactless bracelet you can use to pay anywhere would be a great fit. One more idea: savings at BT for your next family holiday or for the years ahead. Bigger plans? A personal loan can help bring you closer to that dream of yours or your family’s.

You can get them if you apply on Monday or Tuesday, September 18–19, when Banca Transilvania is running Bank to School, a new online banking shopping campaign. The campaign brings discounts and benefits — for you and your child — whether you’re already a BT customer or thinking about becoming one. Plus, with BT Flying Blue you could win two round‑trip plane tickets to one of the following destinations: Amsterdam, Rome and Paris.

Details of the Bank to School offer:

• Receiving your child’s allowance at Banca Transilvania + a personalized debit card with your chosen photo: an extra 100 lei credited to the card and no issuance fee;
• BT contactless bracelet: 30 lei credited straight to the bracelet and no issuance fee;
• STAR Forte card: earn 100 points (10 on the first purchase + 90 bonus) for the primary card and 50 points (10 on the first purchase + 40 bonus) for an additional card held by a designated user;
• BT Flying Blue travel card: no issuance fee, a welcome bonus for the first purchase with the card of 2,000 or 4,000 Miles, depending on whether you choose Classic or Premium. You can also win two round‑trip plane tickets to one of the following destinations: Amsterdam, Rome or Paris;
• Personal loan with life and unemployment insurance, fixed rate for the entire term: 8.5% p.a. if income is paid into BT, or 9.5% p.a. if not;
• 24‑month fixed‑rate deposit: 1.5% p.a. for savings in lei and 0.5% p.a. for those in euro;
• AEGON Fii Sigur insurance: if you also add a minor child as a co‑insured, you’ll receive a surprise gift;
• Groupama home insurance: those who apply for a BT mortgage by the end of November this year benefit from a 30% discount on the first year’s home insurance policy.

Good luck with school, and happy shopping!
