Banca Transilvania maintains its third-place standing in the ranking of the most valuable Romanian brands, with a substantial surge of 34% compared to the previous year, reaching €856 million, according to Brand Finance Romania 50 2025.

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. More details here.

Following an assessment conducted by Refinitiv, part of the London Stock Exchange Group, we achieved a score of 76/100 for our ESG performance. This rating reflects a high level of transparency in publicly reporting sustainability-related information.

With this score, we rank 86th out of 1,145 banks evaluated globally by Refinitiv.

Banca Transilvania awarded on ESG rating of 3.3, following the FTSE Russell assessment. The ESG Index is the result of an assessment based on three pillars: environmental, social and governance, using more than 300 indicators that analyse the bank’s exposure and how BT addresses the ESG area topics.

BT’s 2023 Sustainability Report has been recognized as best in class, receiving Gold Level Recognition with a score of 95/100 (BEST RATED) following the evaluation by Romania CST Index—the only ranking assessing performance and transparency in corporate sustainability in Romania, according to the Romania Corporate Sustainability and Transparency Index.

According to Sustainalytics' assessment, we scored 14.9 points, placing us in the Low Risk category, which means that the company's value is at low risk of being significantly financially impacted by ESG factors.
