Therefore, banks that show simplicity in communication and respect for consumers will benefit. The volatile environment we\u2019ve been living in for 10-15 years is nothing new. Every year, we say the previous one was very bad, and each time something worse happens than we anticipated.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Despite the hardships, people don\u2019t have bad intentions; they don\u2019t take out a loan intending not to repay it. Instead, <strong>they want fair rates<\/strong>. We, as banks, never want to give a loan and then take the house of those who don\u2019t pay. We\u2019re not a real estate agency, and we genuinely want people to prosper! There\u2019s a saying that no one wants you to prosper more than your banker. Because they benefit too: when you have money, you can repay your loan or save.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We\u2019re now in a period of<strong>&nbsp;transition to the digital world<\/strong>. Relationships with the bank will remain physical where human interaction matters, but what clients can manage on their own will become digital. The fact that a client has the option to choose and manage their own banking products and services makes them responsible and confident. We\u2019ve changed all processes to be digitally assisted so that new technology reaches those who are not digital natives, with the help of our staff. It\u2019s also easier for bankers, and people no longer have to make extra trips to the bank.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Digitalization also comes with the risk of fraud<\/em><\/strong><em>. Our colleagues from the anti-fraud division are extremely skilled professionals, and it seems like they never sleep! They work non-stop! We\u2019ve launched customer geolocation through our internet banking platform, not for commercial purposes, like advertising to stores in the mall where the bank client is located, but to alert us if transactions are made in the client\u2019s name from other countries, while they are localized in Bucharest. What our consumers need to remember is that the bank will never send them links to click on or ask for personal data.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"divider empty-space\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><div class=\"divider-elm empty-space\" style=\"margin-top:30px; \"><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14253\" src=\"https:\/\/csalb.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Irina-Chitu.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/csalb.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Irina-Chitu.png 456w, https:\/\/csalb.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Irina-Chitu-300x97.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]&#8221;In the last two years, we\u2019ve seen interest rates rise, as well as monthly payments.

Yes, rates went up! Yes, inflation was very high! Fortunately, Romania\u2019s banking market doesn\u2019t have structural problems, and consumers are much more educated. They take loans in the currency in which they are paid, they know when to take out a fixed-rate loan, or if they need to renegotiate their loans.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>CSALB\u2019s presence is very important for the banking market<\/em><\/strong><em>. It has sometimes made us illuminate corners we didn\u2019t see. It gave us a new perspective! Personally, I feel proud as a banking professional to work for a market that has this Center, which offers this type of service to consumers. At first, a consumer asked if CSALB was \u2018like couple therapy.\u2019 When CSALB was established in 2015, I felt we were moving to the next level, becoming a bit Western European. I can say, nine years later, that it has brought a lot of balance to the consumer-bank relationship because it is that objective eye we needed. When we\u2019re at an impasse or can\u2019t reach an agreement, we encourage clients to turn to CSALB. The conciliators are very experienced professionals, requests can be made online, and it\u2019s brilliant that the CSALB service is free for individuals and very low-cost for businesses.<\/em> <em>\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"divider empty-space\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><div class=\"divider-elm empty-space\" style=\"margin-top:30px; \"><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14255\" src=\"https:\/\/csalb.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mircea-Tanasescu.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"464\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/csalb.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mircea-Tanasescu.png 464w, https:\/\/csalb.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mircea-Tanasescu-300x80.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>&#8220;<\/em><strong><em>Fifteen years ago, you were afraid to talk to the bank<\/em><\/strong><em>&nbsp;after taking out a loan. The bank was perceived as a judge who would take your money when and how they wanted. Now, things have changed a lot. I believe the bank is now seen more as a partner by consumers. At CSALB, all kinds of people come, from intellectuals to workers, or from businessmen to employees. Just as we adapt to the person in front of us, so have banks started to do the same. Recently, I noticed that some people, before taking out a loan, ask themselves: \u2018How would the bank react if I requested an amicable solution to a problem?\u2019 These people consult statistics and seek to know which banks are more flexible in CSALB negotiations. This has become, for some consumers, a criterion for choosing one bank over another when applying for a loan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As a nation, as a Latin people, we like to contest things. People want to go to court to be proven right. The good part is that a <strong>consumer can come to CSALB before they have a court case with the bank<\/strong>, during a court case, or after a court decision.
