Card payments up to €25 million in H1

There were some 300,000 transactions, while the average value per sale was €92, compared to €80 last year. 

“The market is growing because we have increasingly more online stores” and because more than 30 percent of Romanians have internet access, according to RomCard’s General Manager, Marin Mitroi. He added that Romanians are not yet able to make various payments online, including taxes and fees, and bills for some services, such as cable TV and internet. 

Main products purchased online and paid by card are from the telecom industry, tourism and transportation. A significant increase was registered in the field of online insurance and tickets for shows and concerts.
