The new entity will rank among the top 10 banks in Romania, with a market share of approximately 3%, Romania Journal reported.

OTP Bank Romania, the local unit of the Hungarian lender OTP, had also expressed interest in acquiring the 99.28% stake in Banca Romaneasca, but the National Bank of Romania (BNR) opposed the takeover in March 2018, although the Competition Council had authorized the operation.
