Romania Cards and Payments Market Dynamics
Romania Cards and Payments Market Dynamics
Due to the debt-averse nature of consumers, the credit and charge card market in Romania is relatively small.

The gradual adoption of contactless technology, a strong e-commerce market, and the emergence of alternative payment solutions will boost the Romanian payment market going forward.
An increasing preference for contactless payments and a growth in contactless transport payments support the migration of Romanian customers from cash to cards. Furthermore, payment companies are offering cost-effective mobile-based POS solutions for SMEs besides traditional POS devices to improve payment infrastructure and capitalize on the growing popularity of electronic payments.
