Salt Bank was officially launched on the market, marking the beginning of a new digital era. Differentiating itself from traditional banks, Salt Bank aims to be more than a bank: a 100% digital experience, combining the financial stability of a bank with the agility of a FinTech.
Consumers have shown their interest in becoming Salt Bank customers since the launch of the pre-enrolment programme. Under the slogan “You have been a user before, but surely not a founder”, the programme has been a success, confirming Romanians’ appetite for a 100% digital bank: in less than three weeks, more than 80,000 people signed up on the waiting list to become Salt founders.
Gabriela Nistor, CEO of Salt Bank, highlights the bank’s commitment to keep up with technology and customers` needs: “By launching Salt, we are not only bringing the first 100% Romanian neobank to the Romanian market, but we are also offering a unique perspective that combines technology and finance. We built Salt Bank with responsibility and long-term ambition. And even if we are not perfect, we are perfectible. And for that, we will test the best solutions together with our customers. It’s more than a promise. Salt. Banking as you want it.”
