TBI Bank, a Southeastern Europe challenger bank, joined forces with Romanian Fintech Association (RoFin.Tech), the leading Romanian Fintech Association, to support businesses all around the country. This partnership aims to contribute to the digitalization of the Romanian financial sector with a positive impact on the economy and overall society.

“We want to build a smart future and find ways in which the Romanian companies may better serve the fintech ecosystem. To achieve that, we want to be part of a unique ecosystem that connects change-makers and leading organizations. Together with our partners, we are creating a distinctive system designed to develop and implement the technologies of tomorrow”, said Gergana Staykova, Market Leader at TBI.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the importance of digital technology in business and created an opportunity for entrepreneurs to develop innovative, tech-enabled solutions. Fintech innovations are at the forefront of many disruptive technology trends and are helping to boost financial inclusion for both individuals and businesses.

The Romanian Fintech Association - RoFin.Tech was founded with the main goal of representing the interests of the Romanian technology companies which are building proprietary technology products. RoFin.Tech’s main goals are to increase the penetration of digital, tech and entrepreneurship into financial services and to create and grow the offline and online channels needed for Romanian fintech companies to expand their operations internationally.

”TBI Bank Romania is one of the agile banks that in recent years have launched innovative products and started behaving similarly to a fintech company. We are glad that it formalizes this tendency to adopt technological innovation by joining as a support partner of the Romanian Fintech Association. We believe in a consistent collaboration between RoFin.tech and TBI Bank members and look forward to announcing such partnerships soon for the benefit of Romanian financial services clients”, said Cosmin Cosma, President of Romanian Fintech Association, CEO and Founder Finqware.

RoFin.Tech is also a founding member of the European Digital Finance Association (EDFA), an EU-wide association representing fintech companies across the Union in their interactions with EU institutions.
