Banca Cooperatista Record Calarasi

Banca Cooperatista Record Calarasi is a Romanian cooperative bank serving customers in Calarasi county and nearby areas. It operates under the national cooperative credit framework and is supervised by the National Bank of Romania, with eligible deposits covered by the Bank Deposit Guarantee Fund up to the statutory limit (the equivalent of 100,000 EUR per depositor, per bank). The institution focuses on basic retail and small-business banking: current accounts in RON, savings and term deposits, domestic payments and cash services, and lending for individuals, microenterprises, and local businesses, typically secured by income or collateral. As a cooperative, clients can also become members by purchasing cooperative shares and may participate in governance; membership terms, rights, and obligations are defined in the bank’s bylaws. Distribution is largely branch-based, with service scope and limits set locally; digital channels, card issuance, and foreign-currency or cross-border payments may be available depending on arrangements with partner institutions. Pricing, interest rates, and lending criteria are published as required by Romanian regulation and can vary by product and customer profile. The bank applies standard KYC/AML procedures and is subject to consumer protection and transparency rules, with complaints handled first by the bank and then, if unresolved, through the National Authority for Consumer Protection or the National Bank of Romania, as applicable. Potential constraints compared with larger commercial banks include a narrower product range, fewer delivery channels, and a local geographic footprint.
