Environmental, Social, Governance
ESG principles are a key pillar for us in considering our environmental footprint and the impact on the communities we support as a responsible corporate citizen.
As a leading figure in the banking industry, these principles shape our decision-making processes and guide the direction of our forthcoming projects.
We're proud that the Brand Finance Banking 500 2025 confirmed BT as the third strongest banking brand in the world, with an outstanding Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 95.3/100.
We received recognition for our relationship with investors and shareholders at the ARIR Gala, across multiple categories, such as: Best Investor Relations Program, Best IR Professional – Aurel Bernat, Best IR Representative, Best ESG Performance & Communication, Best IR Website, Best Annual Report, and Best IR Event. The awards were determined based on votes from institutional investors and the jury.
Banca Transilvania scored a maximum score, for the sixth consecutive year, in The Romanian Investor Relations Association (ARIR) assessment regarding the communication of the companies listed on the Regulated Market.
Vektor is the first investor communication indicator for listed companies and is calculated based on a methodology that includes 10 criteria, in line with the best international practices.
Two of BT’s social involvement projects received recognition from Community Index, the most comprehensive annual rating of community investment initiatives:
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Banca Transilvania’s long-term issuer rating at 'BBB-' and the bank's viability rating at 'bbb-'.
At the same time, Fitch Ratings maintains a negative outlook for the ratings confirmed today, in the context of the sovereign rating.
The agency argues its decision to affirm the ratings with the bank's strong and well-established domestic franchise, healthy capital buffers supported by strong internal capital generation capacity, and stable funding profile. The ratings also highlight the quality of the bank's assets, supported by a sound lending policy.

Moody’s Ratings has upgraded BT’s long-term deposit ratings and its short-term and long-term issuer ratings. The agency upgraded the bank's long-term deposit rating to Baa1 from Baa2, the highest achievable rating considering the sovereign rating context. Moody's changed the outlook to negative, similar to that of Romania. Concurrently, BT's issuer ratings were upgraded to Baa2 from Baa3, with a stable outlook. The stable outlook for the bank's long-term issuer ratings reflects Moody’s expectation that the bank's financial performance, its capital and profitability, will remain resilient despite macroeconomic headwinds.
