tbi bank and Eturia simplify vacation access for Romanians

Business Forum
The holiday season often brings extra expenses for Romanians eager to explore exotic destinations and unwind. tbi bank, one of the leading challenger banks in Southeast Europe, has partnered with Eturia, one of Romania's largest tour operators, to simplify Romanians' access to the vacations they desire. Customers can now choose the Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution for purchasing vacations, benefiting from either 4 interest-free installments or from 6 to 60 installments with interest.

Additionally, on the tbi bank website, customers can access a voucher of €50 for a European vacation or €100 for an exotic destination, valid until December 31, 2024.

"Vacations are a special opportunity for relaxation, especially in today's economic and social context. As costs have risen over the past year, we wanted to support Romanians. The partnership with Eturia, one of Romania's largest tour operators, offers them a more accessible way to finance their dream vacations," said Sergiu Cioflica, Regional Manager, tbi bank.

With over 70 employees, Eturia is one of Romania's most important tour operators, reporting a turnover of over €28 million last year. The most popular destinations include the Maldives, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the USA, Cuba, Seychelles, Mauritius, Thailand, and others.

"This period is a valuable opportunity for those looking for a break after intense months of work. Partnering with a trusted partner like tbi bank allows us to offer easy access to carefully organized exotic vacations, focusing on comfort and attention to detail so clients can enjoy well-deserved relaxation," said Ana Maria Gherasim, Sales Manager, Eturia.
