Banca Transilvania starts issuing the physical BT Visa UNTOLD Card with OLED technology, a first for Romania
- The physical BT Visa UNTOLD card with OLED technology — a first for Romania — can be ordered in the BT Pay app by 31 July 2025 by those who registered online in the campaign run in March–April 2025.
- The digital version of the card, launched in 2023, will automatically update its design in the period ahead to align with the UNTOLD 2025 festival theme, Pasărea Colibri.
- For customers who did not register online for the OLED version of the card, the bank offers the physical card in the standard, non‑OLED variant. It must also be requested via BT Pay, without a deadline.
- BT Visa UNTOLD is a RON-denominated debit card, with benefits specific to each of the three versions: the physical card — OLED or standard — or the virtual card.
Banca Transilvania, UNTOLD’s official bank, is starting to issue the BT Visa UNTOLD Card with OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode technology) for people who pre-registered online during March–April 2025 and request the card, via the BT Pay app, by 31 July 2025 (Card issuance/UNTOLD category). The card will be delivered to the address chosen by the customer or can be picked up from one of the Banca Transilvania branches they select.
Launched by Banca Transilvania, UNTOLD and Visa and manufactured in the United States by IDEMIA Secure Transactions, the BT Visa UNTOLD card is a first in Romania and among the first OLED-enabled cards in the world. Thanks to the integrated technology, the card lights up with every contactless payment, delivering a unique visual payment experience. It also comes with exclusive benefits and a sense of belonging to the UNTOLD community.
BT, UNTOLD and Visa announce the following key benefits of the BT Visa UNTOLD card with OLED:
- Easy access to the festival via the Priority Lane;
- Exclusive access to the Premium BT x Visa platform, located on the stadium with a direct view of the Mainstage, during UNTOLD X 2025. A space created for a select number of festival fans to offer a memorable experience.
- Access to pre-sale pricing for one extra month after the first UNTOLD subscription sales campaign for the 2026 edition ends;
- Discounts: 20% off the official UNTOLD apparel and accessories collection at the festival; 15% off accommodation options listed on the UNTOLD website; 4% off accommodation via Booking.com when paid with the BT Visa UNTOLD card.
With the BT Visa UNTOLD card, we write the festival’s magic story beyond the event itself. Year after year, we bring fresh elements, such as the card design inspired by the UNTOLD narrative. In 2025 we are launching the physical version of the card, with built-in OLED technology, changing the contactless payment experience. In addition, every payment or transfer with this card triggers a special sound effect in BT Pay, adding a touch of magic to the everyday experience — an innovation that turns routine payments into experiences, a first on the banking market. The product had something special from the very beginning, from its digital launch in August 2023: it set a historic record, with 10,000 cards activated in under 48 hours. Today it is the bank’s most used digital card, with over 180,000 users. The success is the result of an outstanding collaboration with UNTOLD, Visa and IDEMIA Secure Transactions, each making an essential contribution to what Pay-With-Magic means for the UNTOLD community.

Banca Transilvania
UNTOLD’s partnership with Banca Transilvania and Visa is one of the strongest and most innovative in the entertainment industry, not only in Romania but globally. It is a collaboration built over time, based on trust, a shared vision and the desire to create authentic experiences for our fans. Launching the BT Visa UNTOLD card with OLED technology is another step in this direction. A product that blends innovation with utility, that offers clear benefits for users and, above all, strengthens the bond with the UNTOLD community. We are not speaking only about a spectacular design, but about a symbol of belonging — a way to stay connected beyond the festival. The fact that this card was initially launched in digital form in 2023, and today has a premium physical version, shows how we build relevant projects that integrate the latest technologies and directly meet the expectations of those who are close to us. We are pleased that through this remarkable and unique partnership we are developing an innovative tool that combines everyday utility with magical elements from the UNTOLD Universe, set to evolve into a true key to a community and exclusive facilities in the UNTOLD Prime platform.
