FAQ

Can non-residents open a bank account in Romania?

4 of the 5 accounts on this page explicitly accept non-residents (ING Bank România, Banca Transilvania, Raiffeisen Bank Romania). "Accepts applications" does not mean guaranteed approval — banks still assess your ID, proof of address and source of funds. Without local residence or a tax number, prefer accounts marked as remotely openable.

Do I have to visit Romania in person to open an account?

Not necessarily. 1 of the 5 accounts can be opened fully online (Revolut Bank (Romania)), with no branch visit; the remaining 4 still require a branch visit or an appointment. Online opening depends on whether your documents pass automated checks.

How much money do I need to open an account in Romania?

Minimums vary widely — see the "Minimum deposit" column. 5 account(s) have no minimum deposit, so you need not fund on day one. Also watch the minimum balance and monthly fee; dormant accounts can incur charges.

How long does it take to open an account in Romania?

It depends on the account: online accounts are usually approved within minutes to a few working days, while branch or manually reviewed accounts typically take 1 to 3 weeks. The "How to apply" column shows the channel for each account, and timings are on the individual pages.
