Salt Bank (formerly Romanian International Bank and Idea Bank) is a Romanian bank based in Bucharest.

Activity

[edit]

Originally known as Romanian International Bank, it was sold towards the end of 2013 to Idea Bank, a Polish bank controlled by Getin Holding. In April 2014, its operations continued under the new Idea Bank brand.[1]

It was bought by Banca Transilvania in 2021. It was renamed to Salt Bank on 21 November 2023.[2] In November 2023, Salt Bank formed a partnership with Starling Bank, a British challenger bank, to use its cloud-based banking platform known as Engine by Starling.[3]

In 2024, Idea Bank SA became Salt Bank SA. The bank subsidiary Idea::Broker de Asigurare became BT Broker de Asigurare, and Idea::Leasing IFN SA became Avant Leasing IFN SA.
