A full-counter Banca Transilvania branch on Calea București at Piața Centrală, on the ground floor of the block, with an ATM at the door and a Western Union point beside it. Accounts are opened here, not just serviced. Weekdays only, and like most bank branches in Romania it closes for a short midday break.

Cool where you sit and wait — comfortable through a hot afternoon.
Where we bank
My banking recommendation for Craiova is exactly this: Banca Transilvania, and this branch. Not banks in general, not BT in general — this counter. The staff here are fabulous — genuinely helpful, and they stay with you until the thing is actually done. It is where we do our own banking, and it is the door I point anyone to who needs an account in this city. Everything else on this page is information. This is a recommendation, and it is mine.
