Banca Comercială Română (BCR) is launching a promotional offer for new consumer credits, focusing on transparency, simplicity, rapidity and a competitive price – 8.5%/year fixed interest rate for credits covering maximum 3 years and 9%/year for credits covering 5 years, ZERO application processing and management fees, and free life insurance. Our offer is available to anyone requesting new credits or who chooses to refinance through BCR current credits/credit cards at other banks.

For the first time, clients can benefit of an interest rate reduction of 0.1 pp if they submit a request for DIVERS credit on every Friday between 10 March and 3 May 2015, between 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM, at any branches from Arad, Cluj Napoca, Timişoara, Craiova, Sibiu, Braşov, Piteşti, Ploieşti, Iaşi, Constanţa and Bucharest

The bank requires only three documents to grant the DIVERS BCR consumer credit with no guarantees: the salary report, tax statement/BCR form and one utility invoice, or pension slip, final retirement papers and one utility invoice, in the case of incomes from pensions. With these 3 documents, clients can also get a “BUN DE PLATĂ” credit card.

All clients who collect their salaries or pensions in a BCR account can benefit from a quick approval of credit requests: maximum three hours.

The bank offers free life insurance and 20% off the bonus regarding unemployment and invalidity insurance policies.

Regarding “BUN DE PLATĂ” credit cards, clients can benefit, during the first year, from  ZERO issuing and management fees if they buy a credit card together with another BCR credit product. Also, clients receive up to 5% from shopping costs back to their account, every month, when using the credit card for payments done at particular traders (more details on www.bundeplata.ro). For instance, during March, clients receive 5% back in their accounts for payments regarding tax and duties, done with the credit card.

The offer is available during 10 March - 3 May 2015.
