The work is “outside”, the family is “at home”, and the money is on two fields, week after week. The salary comes in euros, but part of the expenses remain in lei. You live in one country, but you always calculate for two.

It is exactly from this reality that the new Salt Bank account for the diaspora starts, a solution designed for Romanians who no longer want to change applications, banks and accounts every time they cross the border.

One account, for two lives

Salt Bank for Diaspora works as a well-tuned system. You have a main account in euros, for everyday life in the country of residence, and a secondary account in lei, for everything related to Romania.

This means you can collect your salary and pay like a local abroad, but at the same time you can send money home instantly, without trips to the counter, without complicated exchanges and without time wasted between applications.

It all happens from one place: the Salt Bank app.

Banking that keeps up with your pace

In the same application, users in the diaspora have access to functionalities that really matter in everyday life:

  • multicurrency card, for payments in 19 currencies, with a very good exchange rate;

  • instant transfers in Romania and the European Union;

  • payments in euros without commissions;

  • Subscription Manager, to keep subscriptions under control;

  • Automatic Saver, for automatic saving;

  • deposits in both lei and euros.

For the connection with Romania, Salt Bank also brings:

  • instant payments in lei, without commissions;

  • Pay Tax, for viewing and paying taxes to the Romanian state;

  • Pay Bill, for home bills.

Basically, you have one “locker room” that you change into for both halves of your life.

More than banking: you enter a community

Along with the launch of the diaspora account, Salt Bank is also introducing Salt Ambassadors, a slightly game-changing program. It's not just about benefits, it's about engagement.

Those who enter the Ambassadors Circle become part of a community:

  • be among the first to test new functionalities;

  • can send feedback and ideas that go directly to the product team;

  • actively contribute to how the application evolves.

In addition, they have priority access to events dedicated to the community, receive a special badge in the application and a bonus of 20 euros cashback on the first payment to an airline or a travel agency, a little help for the first trip made together with Salt Bank.

Access to the program is automatic, once the diaspora account is opened. Seats are limited and given on a first-come, first-served basis, and Ambassador status is visible directly in the app.

And referrals play as a team

Thus, for each referral that ends with opening an account and making a payment at the POS, you receive 20 euros. And for the first 3 validated recommendations, you also get an additional bonus of 60 euros. All you have to do is make sure they use your referral code found in the app.

Friends and family can also refer Salt Bank on, and winnings flow as easily as well-connected passes.

Who can open the account

The Salt Bank diaspora account is available to Romanians with Romanian citizenship, resident in one of the following countries: Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Holland, Austria, Belgium, Ireland and Portugal.

For Romanians who live “on the go”, but don't want to lose touch with what matters, Salt Bank comes up with a simple solution: a single account, for both halves of life.
