Wondering what the most popular ways to pay are in Romania? Explore the top payment options and choose wisely.
Romania, with a population of around 18.83 million people, has a GDP of approximately 403.40 billion making it the 40th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Romania is the Romanian Leu (RON)
The economy is driven by manufacturing, particularly automotive and machinery, and information technology services. As a member of the European Union, its trade is heavily oriented towards other EU states, with Germany and Italy as key partners.
Physical cash, the Romanian Leu, remains the most popular payment method for the majority of day-to-day transactions. In urban areas, debit and credit cards have very high acceptance, with contactless functionality being the norm. Bank transfers are used for bill payments and also as an alternative to "cash on delivery" for online purchases, where payment is made after the product arrives.
Whatever you need to buy during your trip, whether it’s a travel adapter, train ticket or an extra bottle of sunscreen, the Wise Multi-Currency Card has you covered.
You can spend like a local in 150+ countries, as this clever contactless card automatically converts currency at the mid-market exchange rate whenever you spend - for just a small conversion fee.
And for extra convenience, you can add your Wise Multi-Currency Card to your Google Wallet or Apple Wallet. Then you can travel even lighter and pay using just your phone, with no need to pack the physical card.
