Opening a Business Bank Account in Romania
After incorporating your Romanian SRL, you’ll need a business bank account — to deposit share capital and run the company’s payments. For non-residents this is often the trickiest step, so here’s what to expect.
Documents you’ll typically need
- the registration certificate (CUI) and articles of association;
- the director’s passport/ID;
- proof of the registered office;
- sometimes a brief description of the business activity and expected flows (KYC).
Traditional banks vs. EMIs
- Romanian banks — full local IBAN, best for local operations; may require an in-person visit or a notarised power of attorney for non-residents, and stricter KYC.
- EMIs / fintech accounts (e.g. EU electronic-money institutions) — often fully remote and fast to open; great to start, though some local operations may still benefit from a traditional bank account.
Note: account opening, KYC requirements and remote options vary by bank and change over time. We help match you to options that realistically accept non-resident-owned Romanian companies.
What to check
- fees (monthly, per transaction, FX);
- remote onboarding availability for non-residents;
- multi-currency support (useful for EU/international clients);
- integration with accounting/invoicing.
