Romania’s leading financial group Banca Transilvania (BT) climbed 100 places in the Brand Finance Banking ranking, to 339, as it recorded a 53% increase in brand value, to USD 370 million, according to Romania-Insider.com.
With a 20% increase of its Brand Strength, BT has marked the sixth-steepest improvement, Ziarul Financiar reported. The improvement came against the banking sector enjoying a rather problematic reputation.
“Banking brands continue to struggle to earn the respect of consumers, taking joint last place globally for overall reputation, alongside telecoms (6.2/10). Banks generally score poorly for trust, and are not seen as especially innovative or delivering good value,” Brand Finance commented.
