Bucharest, 24 September 2015 – More than 7,000 clients have accessed BCR’s offer to have their interest decreased by an average 20%, as part of the “Scade Rata” (Cut your instalment) campaign.
“The campaign we launched 3 weeks ago is already successful among our clients. They especially appreciate the bank’s fair approach, specifically the pro-active way in which our financial advisers present the new offer to decrease credit interest rates, by an average 20%. The fact that, besides obtaining a better interest rate, BCR offers its clients, as part of the “Scade Rata” campaign, ZERO commissions and a FREE life insurance, counts as another important step that the bank wishes to take in developing its relations with its clients. As part of this campaign, we are focusing on our entire client portfolio and our offers have the best costs. We are pleased that even the clients who chose to take legal action understood that BCR’s offer is mutually beneficial and that this is a turning point where the No. 1 bank in the system is turning its attention to its clients, as well as towards Romanian Retail clients, through transparent communication, a fair offer, and a quick and simple approval process. It is normal that, as part of a civilized and mature market, the relation between a bank and its client should be based on trust, and when facing litigations, the bank should find commercial solutions to terminate them. In this context, the bank’s attitude should focus on finding an amicable solution and developing a long-term partnership”, stated Dana Demetrian, Executive Vice-president of BCR’s Retail and Private Banking Department.
Starting September 2015, BCR offers its clients, who have mortgage credits or a mortgage security, the chance to benefit from a better interest rate, which is equivalent to the current average market value – a fixed interest rate of 4.95% covering 5 years. After that, the interest rate shall be calculated as EURIBOR + 3%. Clients can also choose a fixed interest rate covering 10 years.

BCR is Romania’s No. 1 bank in terms of asset value (€14,4 bn.), in terms of client base and in terms of savings and crediting.
