BT Pay comes with two new features, Invite Friends and Open Banking. With everyday banking options, BT Pay is Romania’s first banking and payments super-app, and is currently used by 1 million people.

What the new BT Pay features mean

• Invite Friends – people who use BT Pay can send a personalized download link to friends who don’t yet have the app. Both the person who sends the invite and the friends who download BT Pay and make a payment by phone within 7 days will receive 30 lei.
• Open Banking – from now on, app users can see more details for cards issued by other banks and fintechs that are added in the app, namely: account balance, IBAN and transactions. The option is currently available for BCR, ING Bank and Revolut cards.

Remote banking with BT Pay

To give customers as many remote banking options as possible, Banca Transilvania has accelerated the rollout of features in the BT Pay app starting in March this year:  

• A new BT card, reissued on request or at expiry, appears in BT Pay in digital form before the customer receives the physical card.
• Cash can be withdrawn with the phone at all Banca Transilvania ATMs, using a code generated in BT Pay and received by SMS.
• Cards issued in Romania by other banks and fintechs can be added to the app to transfer money to BT cards.
• Donations can be made via BT Pay.
• Access to each card’s details in the app — number, expiry date and CVV — for quick online shopping.
• Confirm online purchases using BT Pay with biometric authentication or your phone’s unlock method.
• BT Pay integrates with fitness tracking apps to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
• Display of BT card benefits in the app, such as the option to pay in installments, travel insurance, etc.

1 in 4 cards issued by Banca Transilvania are used in digital form via BT Pay, Apple Pay, Fitbit Pay or Garmin Pay.
