How do you open a bank account in Romania at BT if you live abroad?
If you live abroad, but want to still be close to your loved ones in Romania, the good news is that you do not have to come to the country to open a bank account at BT. You can open an account 100% online, directly from BT Pay, wherever you are.
The process takes 7-10 minutes and is done directly from the phone, without the need to come to the bank.
Banking without trips, directly from the phone
The process is designed to be as simple and fast as possible:
- Everything is done 100% online
- It takes approximately 7–10 minutes
- Is available 24/7
- It is not necessary to have a videocall or to come to a BT location
That means you only need a phone and a few free minutes: about as long as you would listen to 2 songs you like. 😊 You just need to be a Romanian resident (meaning you have a valid Romanian ID card), be at least 18 years old, and have a phone with a valid phone number – the good part is that it can be either a Romanian number or a foreign number.
And… what happens after you complete the process and open your account in BT Pay? You use BT Pay on the spot and enjoy banking directly from the phone, meaning you can do whatever you want.
- You have a digital card automatically issued in the app and you manage your money in real time
- ZERO commission for opening and managing the account and card
- You are always in control: you pay the bills in Romania for gas, electricity, phone, etc
💸 Payments and transfers
- Transfers with ZERO commission between BT Pay users, in lei or other currencies. In addition, you can open accounts in 14 currencies.
- You pay by card without fees, online and in stores
- Send money quickly, based on the phone number to your loved ones who already have BT Pay or via IBAN. You can send money via IBAN in any currency you have open accounts in (with the "Currency payment" option, in the "Accounts" section)
📲 Cards and flexibility
- Virtual cards in lei, euro and dollars, with the coolest animated designs
- You can add cards issued by other banks or fintechs abroad in BT Pay and also top up
