This statistic shows the total value of credit card payments in Romania from 2012 to 2020 (in billion Romanian lei). In 2019, credit card payments in Romania reached a total value of approximately 14.1 billion Romanian lei. This is an increase compared to the 6.5 billion lei reached in 2015. For many markets in Central and Eastern Europe, the regulatory and financial support afforded by the European Union membership provided strong potential for sustained growth in the credit card market. The penetration of credit cards in Romania reached 12 percent in 2019.

2022 figures and beyond - release date November 2023 and later - made significant strides in reporting quality - causing a sometimes significant break in methodology in individual countries. Statista sometimes still had to calculate figures, however, as card figures were split between non-remote and remote use cases.
2021 figures and before - with a release date of July 2022, or earlier - are all Statista estimates. Statista used the following indicators - which did not return after the figures covering 2022 - for Austria:
1. Credit cards
Number of cards with a credit function.
2. Debit cards
Number of cards with a debit function.
The following additional sources have been used to provide further context to these figures:
