Banca Transilvania launches BT Store, an online hub showcasing solutions that complement banking for entrepreneurs. These are designed to help run and manage a business and address real needs — from invoicing, basic bookkeeping and cash flow management to recruiting employees, etc.

BT Store is a first in how banks engage with entrepreneurs. The initial version showcases ten solutions for SMEs with which Banca Transilvania has kicked off this project, provided by Smart Bill, Blugento, eJobs, Reteaua Privata de Sanatate Regina Maria, Ebriza, ThinkOut, Calendis Business, REGnet, DocAv and iFactor. The platform will be expanded over time with new ideas, partners and offers to address the main challenges entrepreneurs face, with the goal of ultimately offering 360° coverage of an SME’s needs.

“BT Store will become the meeting place for those who dream up, launch and develop all kinds of solutions for entrepreneurs. It will be a large showcase of tools for SMEs. People with ideas meet our Digital Transformation team so their solutions can gain broad, immediate exposure — because this is where most SMEs are.”. – says Tiberiu Moisa, Deputy CEO, SME Banking, Banca Transilvania. “We see the challenges entrepreneurs face every day, so we wanted to make it easier to address as many of them as possible. With access to a number of companies with innovative, digital products that solve real problems, we created BT Store — a platform to help these ideas reach as many BT clients with an entrepreneurial spirit as possible.” – adds Daniel Szekely, Coordinating Director, SME & Microbusiness, Banca Transilvania.
