Consumers have shown their interest in becoming Salt Bank customers since the launch of the pre-enrolment programme. Under the slogan "You have been a user before, but surely not a founder", the programme has been a success, confirming Romanians' appetite for a 100% digital bank: in less than three weeks, more than 80,000 people signed up on the waiting list to become Salt founders.

A leap forward in digital banking

Gabriela Nistor, CEO of Salt Bank, highlights the bank's commitment to keep up with technology and customers` needs: "By launching Salt, we are not only bringing the first 100% Romanian neobank to the Romanian market, but we are also offering a unique perspective that combines technology and finance. We built Salt Bank with responsibility and long-term ambition. And even if we are not perfect, we are perfectible. And for that, we will test the best solutions together with our customers. It's more than a promise. Salt. Banking as you want it."

A bank built together with the customers

The customers` needs are at the core of the bank's development process, giving rise to the Salt Founders Community, which already counts 2,200 users who have contributed with over 5,000 ideas so far. By actively participating in the community, founders directly influence the future of Salt.
