Alpha Bank Romania supports the entrepreneurial ecosystem by participating in Start-Up Nation 2022

Alpha Bank Romania reaffirms its commitment to support the Romanian entrepreneurial ecosystem, as it was selected by the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Tourism as a partner bank for the implementation of the Start-Up Nation program.

The program gives the opportunity to new entrepreneurs to benefit from non-reimbursable financing of up to RON 200,000 (representing a maximum 95% of the total value of eligible expenses) in order to develop their business ideas. The difference can be covered by a bank loan, which can be guaranteed up to 80% by both the National Credit Guarantee Fund for Small and Medium Enterprises (NCGFSME) and the Romanian Counter-guarantee Fund (RCF).

Each eligible beneficiary who participates in the program and chooses Alpha Bank will be able to access both the value of the non-reimbursable aid, through a separate account, and additional funding to support his/her business idea and fully implement the project.

Moreover, Alpha Bank supports entrepreneurs in their first two years of activity through a dedicated “Start-Up” package, aiming at minimizing the financial effort during business growth period, by offering 0 fees for 12 months for several service and product categories, including access to the “Easy Bill” invoicing program.
