Case Study: Banca Transilvania adds 300,000 customers and doubles core application performance with Oracle Exadata and Exalogic

Banca Transilvania Adds 300,000 Customers While Doubling Performance of Core Applications

Banca Transilvania, Romania’s third-largest bank with roughly 1.9 million customers and 550 branches, needed a robust, always-on IT platform to support 24/7 branch, ATM and online services, process high-volume card transactions (about 1.1 million/day across 20,000 POS) and speed time-to-market for new financial products to stay competitive.

The bank built a private cloud on Oracle engineered systems (Exadata, Exalogic, Active Data Guard and Oracle support services), replacing legacy infrastructure and standardizing on Oracle’s stack. Since deployment it added over 300,000 customers and increased transaction volumes 20% to 1.5 million/day with sustained sub-2-second response times, halved daily close time to under four hours, tripled product deployment speed, cut TCO by about 30%, doubled mission-critical application performance and achieved near-zero downtime while maintaining IT headcount.
