Short Introduction

Smith&Smith is a Romanian payment institution specialising in domestic and international money transfers, payment accounts and services designed for Romanian communities at home and abroad.

About the Company

Founded in 1999, Smith&Smith was one of Romania’s first locally developed money-transfer businesses. The company serves consumers through digital channels and a national agency network.
