Romanian neobank Salt Bank, a subsidiary of the largest financial institution in the country, Banca Transilvania, became a Trading Participant of the Bucharest Stock Exchange on Wednesday, November 11.<\/p>\n
With the launch, Salt became the only bank in Romania to bring the trading system fully into a mobile app through direct integration with the Bucharest Stock Exchange, without a minimum investment.<\/p>\n
Behind the scenes, Salt simultaneously took on three roles: BVB participant, Central Depository participant, and settlement bank.<\/p>\n
The launch came amid growth in the local capital market: approximately 350,000 investors at the end of September, 25% more than last year, and an average daily trading volume of approximately RON 116 million in 2026.<\/p>\n
The BVB and the Central Depository supported the entire integration project, which was completed in just four months.<\/p>\n
To celebrate the launch, the bank announced a special Black Friday promotion. Between November 11\u201327, 2026, Salt Bank clients will enjoy zero total commission when trading on BVB directly from the bank’s app.<\/p>\n
After the Black Friday promotion ends, the trading commission will be 0.25%, with a minimum of RON 5 per executed order. According to the bank’s representatives, this will be the only type of commission that Salt will charge investors.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinancial assets are growing faster than non-financial assets. If we look at the value of deposits in Romania between September 2025 and September 2026, the value of deposits increased by 10%, almost double the inflation rate. Romanians are accumulating wealth through financial instruments. We believe that in the future they will diversify how they accumulate wealth through financial instruments, whether local or international, stocks or ETFs,\u201d said Robert Anghel, CEO of Salt Bank.<\/p>\n
During Salt Bank\u2019s launch as a trading participant, Anghel stressed that the bank combines the ease of use of fully-digital neobanks and the safety and security of traditional banks.<\/p>\n
He also said that the \u201cinvestment vertical\u201d offered by Salt Bank is unparalleled by any other institution in Romania.<\/p>\n
Launched in 2025, Salt\u2019s investment product suite grew rapidly, and the bank was the first in Romania to digitize access to Fidelis government bonds. Salt also marketed itself to highly transaction-active young people and customers over 40 with mature financial behavior<\/p>\n
\u201cPowered by technology, Salt Bank brings the Exchange closer to everyday life, encouraging healthy financial habits for the long term. We strongly believe the future belongs to those who invest in it, and together with Salt Bank, saving and investing become accessible anytime,\u201d stated Remus Vulpescu, CEO of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
