Our recommendations

Be cautious when receiving calls or e-mails and always carefully check the phone numbers and addresses from which you are contacted.Do not provide sensitive information such as bank card details or access credentials in banking applications (username, password, unique authentication codes, etc.). BT Capital Partners and the companies of Banca Transilvania Financial Group never ask for your card number or CVV/CVC code.

Access only the official pages of companies and intermediaries authorized by the Financial Supervisory Authority to avoid fake websites. Beware of misleading campaigns that appear to be from the Banca Transilvania Financial Group or authorized intermediaries. They promise big payouts but seek to obtain your personal or financial data.

Beware of unauthorized phone calls/emails from people claiming to be representatives of these companies and promoting investments, asking for personal information or requesting the installation of remote control applications that allow them to access accounts and transactions.

If you are promised a quick return on an investment it is definitely a scam. Critically analyze the message and be very careful which investment platforms you use.

Avoid accessing links received from unknown sources (by e-mail, SMS, social media, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc.) and do not fill in your personal or bank details on these links. If you are suspicious about an offer, avoid accessing the material and check the existence of the promotion or offer on an official company communication channel.
