IMPORTANT!

The end of 2019 brings important news to you!

For the products and services offered by TBI Bank EAD Sofia – Bucharest Branch there have been a series of changes due to the application of new legislation, so that:

• starting with 13.12.2019, the payment services conditions applicable in Romania were modified according with the requirements of the Law 209/2019 regarding payments services and for amending some normative acts through which were transposed the provisions of the EU Directive 2015/2366 on payment services (PSD2);
• starting with 15.12.2019, fees were modified according to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 518/2019 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2019 amending Regulation (EC) no. 924/2009 as regards certain charges on cross-border payments in the Union and currency conversion charges, making your offer better than the present one.
   

What is essential regarding the payment services?

Customers who have opened a current account at the Bank are not able to initiate payments or obtain account information through third-party providers (TPPs) because the account is not being online accessible.
In this regard, aspects related to the use of services offered by third-party providers (TPPs) shall not be covered by the contract for the current account.

What fees will be modified?

In order to provide you the necessary support, starting with 15.12.2019, the fees charged for cross-border payments in Euro in EU and EEA will have the same value as the fees charged for corresponding national payments of the same value made in Lei.
In the present, the fees are differentiated based on the currency (Euro/ Lei), but the equalization of fees for cross-border payments in Euro in EU and EEA with those for interbank payments in Lei will be to your advantage so that in future you will be able to make cross-border payments in Euro in EU and EEA without worrying about the charged fees!
