Banca Transilvania announces a new online banking shopping campaign, Sfatul Babelor, running from 29 February – 9 March. The campaign brings discounts, benefits and fee waivers on loans, shopping cards, insurance and leasing, as well as discounts on passes for this year’s festivals — Untold, Electric Castle and Nostalgia. The concept is inspired by the Romanian tradition Babele, under which Romanians choose one day between 1 – 9 March to be their baba, as a sign of the year’s auspices.
