BCR in Romania expands its services for entrepreneurs and launches the first credit card, available 100% online, with a credit limit of up to RON 80,000 (approx. EUR 16,000). The Visa business card can be accessed directly from the George service.
This offer is available in a few minutes. Moreover, signing the agreement documents is done online with a qualified electronic signature provided free of charge by BCR. Courier sends the credit card and activation instructions, so the customer shouldn’t go to the branch at any stage.
“We are happy to be able to expand once again the benefits and services that entrepreneurs can access on the George digital platform, just a screen tap away. With this Visa credit card, we offer customers a 100% online financial alternative, through which they can manage business expenses and cash flow much more efficiently, from anywhere, at any time, and without supporting documents. Everything in a simple, fast, up-to-date way,” – said Vlad Huţuleac, Deputy Executive Director of Products and Retail Segments at BCR.
“We are glad that through this new partnership, we are strengthening Visa’s global commitment to supporting SMEs. Launching the new card alongside BCR adds to Visa’s efforts to provide entrepreneurs with the resources they need to thrive in the digital economy, complementing the benefits of the Big Small Business platform. By easily accessing the new loan offer, entrepreneurs gain precious time and the opportunity to have an optimized cash flow to develop and continue their businesses in the digital age,” – added Elena Ungureanu, Country Manager Romania at Visa.
BCR also makes other digital financial solutions available to businesses through George for Business, such as the George Smart Business Loan and Digital Overdraft. These two business loans are 100% online.
Approximately 140,000 businesses are enrolled in George for Business, the unique digital ecosystem in Romania.
