The move is part of BCR’s strategy and complements the local community financial inclusion program, with the lender’s first mobile unit launched in October 2022, which has reached 26 communities already.
The program is a partnership with Vodafone Romania, OMNIASIG Vienna Insurance Group, BCR Asigurari de Viata VIG and, as of this year, MedLife.
The new mobile unit operates inside a modular truck, with a usable area of 60 square meters and equipped with all the necessary facilities in a bank branch: desks, digital services, all-in-one equipment and more.
The mobile unit has a range of 400 kilometers and can operate away from a power source for about three hours. There are two experts in a modular truck – a finance-banking specialist and a telecommunications and technology specialist. In some communities, it will also include medical service specialists.
BCR plans to visit at least 24 rural and small-town communities in 2025.
