In the upcoming period, as a result of the attracted investment, Bankata.ro’s team will focus on developing new partnerships with the Romanian financial institutions that have the best offers. “This way, users have access to the best products directly from our platform. At the same time, we want to compare new products, such as independent transfer and foreign exchange platforms. Bankata.ro was designed to offer a dynamic interaction based on the particularities of consumers offering a tailor-made solution. The information analyzed is constantly updated and impartially compared by our team. The funding from this round is mainly directed towards IT development and marketing efforts in order to ensure a fast and sustainable growth of our platform “, says Andrei Perianu, COO Bankata.ro.
