Revolut and Romanian payment rails
Revolut also takes part in the local account-to-account system. Instant payments in lei have taken over: TRANSFOND processed 215.6 million instant payments worth 306.3 billion lei in 2025, up from 138.6 million in 2024, and twenty banks offered instant payments at the end of 2025, including Revolut.
Revolut competes with the local banks for the wallet.
