Brokers in Romania, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Romania is an EU member state under ESMA retail rules; the ASF (Autoritatea de Supraveghere Financiară) supervises non-bank financial markets while the BNR (Banca Naţională a României) handles banking. Romania uses the leu (RON) under a managed-float regime and is on the path to euro adoption (no fixed target date as of 2024). EU-passported brokers (CySEC, MFSA, BaFin) dominate retail FX/CFD; SEPA dominates funding alongside the local Pay by Bank standard.
