How Romania pays

Currency
Romanian leu (RON)
Central bank
Banca Națională a României
Market
EU, outside the euro area
Main airports
Bucharest (OTP), Cluj-Napoca (CLJ)

Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca have growing technology sectors that create corporate transfer demand, while Brașov, Sibiu and the Transylvanian castles draw tourists who book transport in advance.

PayPal does not accept RON, so a company operating in lei connects Stripe, Airwallex or Revolut Business for cards and wallets.
