Along with the development of the capital of Romania, new Bucharest banks started to appear and the existing ones changed their orientation. In order to be closer to their clients, the Bucharest banks began to extend and to open branch offices in every district of the city.
Because of the large number of Bucharest banks currently on the financial market, the clients can choose now among more types of deposits or other banking services. Bucharest banks offer nowadays a reasonably painless experience, especially if one chooses the right bank. And the right bank could imply costumer orientation, safe and discrete services and why not, English speaking staff.
For opening a foreign currency current (checking) account in one of the Bucharest banks you need the passport (with a valid Romanian-entry stamp), an address (inside Bucharest for resident accounts or outside Bucharest for non-resident accounts) and the minimum deposit (usually around €35). For changing money it is better to use Bucharest banks rather than exchange offices.
We present you a list of the Bucharest banks if you need one and their contact information. For further information about the financial market in general, you can visit the Financial dictionary website.
