“Mobile payments and contactless technology in particular have expanded rapidly in Romania in recent years. In this context, the partnership with Visa is a natural step following the expansion and diversification of the services we offer through Orange Money. The Orange customer wants simplicity in services whether we are talking about how they choose to communicate or manage their money, and the mobile phone quickly becomes the preferred solution for these needs.
