Banca Transilvania (BT) plans to grant 300m euros'worth of unsecured loans to small and medium-sized companies thisyear, a segment where it holds a solid position traditionally andwhere it still sees the possibility of lucrative deals.
"We want to grow after almost three years during which we and ourclients have stagnated. Small companies were the first in troubleat the onset of the crisis and the same segment is the first toshow signs of a rebound," said Robert Rekkers, the bank's generalmanager.
He says BT needs to gain market share on the SME segment this year,but also in terms of total assets, after having boosted its generalmarket share from 5.8% to 6.3% in 2010, as well.
The bank yesterday launched an unsecured loan for small firms,through which funding worth as much as 60,000 RON can be obtained,at a 12% interest per annum. Rekkers hopes the new loan will bring6,000 new clients in 12 months.
He showed that on the SME segment the weight of bad loans hasalready stabilised. Instead, he expects further trouble on theretail and large company segments.
