“#Romania’s payments ecosystem experienced a surge in #digital #innovation, marked by an increasing focus on contactless transactions and mobile payment solutions. The competitive landscape in the country’s #payments sector evolved through technological advancements and strategic partnerships among key players. Government-led initiatives promoting financial inclusion and enhancing payment infrastructure contributed to the steady growth of electronic payments nationwide.” 💡This is the key takeaway from Raluca Nacu, Manager, and Sara Condrache, Consultant at Deloitte, regarding the Romanian payments ecosystem, as featured in our whitepaper, “Key #Players in the #EU Payments Landscape 2024 ": https://bit.ly/4fsDsCo 💵  At the end of 2023, cash transactions still dominated Romania's payment landscape, accounting for 70% of all payment transactions. Nevertheless, from September 2022 to September 2023, electronic payments surged by 22.83%, instant payments increased sevenfold, and non-instant payments saw a decline of 8.84%. The Romanian fintech sector is among the fastest-growing sectors in the country, underpinned by its high internet and smartphone penetration rates.   📲 In Romania, e-wallets and digital wallets are increasingly popular for e-commerce transactions. Notable international payment methods include BitPay, PayPal, UnionPay International, PaysafeCard, Alipay, Trustly, and Mobiamo, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay, which are supported by major Romanian banks. Local rising players include the eMAG Wallet and NETOPIA Payments. In the BNPL sector, Slovenia's Leanpay, a leading provider in Central and Eastern Europe, commenced operations in Romania in April 2023. 🏦 With 67 credit institutions, Romania’s banking sector is relatively modest in size compared to its Central and Eastern European peers. Leading banks include Banca Transilvania, which is the largest, followed by Banca Comercială Română (BCR), UniCredit Bank Romania, BRD - Groupe Societe Generale, CEC Bank, ING Romania, and Raiffeisen Bank Romania . 📶 On the processing front, domestic providers such as Printec Group, WESTACO, Danubius, and Mellon Group play significant roles. However, the Dutch company PayU is the leading payment service provider in Romania. Download the full report here: https://bit.ly/4fsDsCo
