Stelian Bogza has an experience of over nine years in banking and finances, specifically in the business-to-business, marketing and sales divsion.
He started his career in banking in 2005, at EFG Retail Services, and within two years he was already Senior Relationship Manager at Credit Europe Bank, building a relationship with the important retailers in the marketplace in order to implement and accept the bank’s POS services. Shortly after ABN AMRO was taken over by the Royal Bank of Scotland, he was recruited for the position of Merchant Manager in the cards division of the bank, being in charge ofthe sales and advertising strategies, as well as the main customers of the bank.
In August 2009, he began his collaboration with Citibank as a Business Development & Cards Partnerships Manager, focusing exclusively on the B2B division – marketing and sales strategies for bank cards. During the four years in which he occupied this position, he implemented and managed the biggest sales network in the local banking sector: 450 retailers with over 2000 outlet stores. During that time, he started a partnership with the Ministry of Culture, through which Citibank cardholders had unlimited access to 17 of the most visited museums in Romania (the Peles Castle, the National Village Museum, Brukenthal etc), a benefit which proved to be not only unique, but also one of the most used in the banking system. One of the Citibank benefits that he implemented in Romania entailed adapting the international privilege system to include over 100 hotels, restaurants and spas in Romania.
After approximately 4 years at Citibank, in June 2013, he was recruited by Western Union for the position of Senior Manager in charge of developing bank transfer services for 12 countries in Central and Eastern Europe.

Benefit Online is the solution I wish I had received from every company I worked for, and, now that we have launched this product onto the market, I am confident that it will make many employees happier and more motivated.”
