Banca Transilvania is getting involved in the MagiCAMP project by contributing to an emergency fund that helps children with cancer and their families.

To encourage donations, the bank is introducing a new way to raise funds via BT Pay. What’s more, for every donation made through the app, Banca Transilvania will add a further 5 lei. Donations can range from 5 to 500 lei during 12–31 December this year, when the MagiCAMP campaign takes place.

3 steps to donate via BT Pay:

• Download the BT Pay app from the App Store or Google Play; 
• Add a BT card;
• Initiate a money transfer to the number 0739 926 622, provided by MagiCAMP for this campaign. Include #MagicPay in the reference.

“As a banker, some of the most rewarding moments are when we can get involved in social projects and make a tangible difference in the everyday lives of children who need help. We have supported this project since 2016 and we are glad we have had the opportunity to stand alongside MagiCAMP” - said Ömer Tetik, CEO, Banca Transilvania.

“Five years ago we were only organising camps for children, to help them forget for a little while the harrowing period they were going through. We never imagined we would have to set up an emergency fund — one we would have to top up constantly and from which we could help the families of children with cancer at their toughest moments: when children need treatment, tests or transport to hospital, fast. With the support of Banca Transilvania and of everyone who will use the BT Pay app, in just a few seconds we can be the PERSON who not only doesn’t let those in need fall, but helps them get back up” – said Melania Medeleanu, founder, MagiCAMP.

BT Pay is Romania’s first banking wallet, launched by Banca Transilvania in January this year. The app has 12 features that allow customers to manage their cards and money easily and 24/7, using their phone, as well as to make donations.

Banca Transilvania allocated over 20 million lei in 2018 for projects dedicated to community engagement, financial and entrepreneurial education, sport, social causes and culture.
