“We now have a team of 12 agents that cover Romania and we’re focusing on expanding our client base. By the end of the year we plan to double our team and triple our client numbers,” Theodor Ștefanovici, Akcenta’s commercial manager for Romania, said Wednesday, at the official launch.
Akcenta is a non-banking financial institution specialized in currency exchange, international payments, and hedging transactions for 25,000 clients from a wide range of companies and institutions in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Romania.
In Romania, the company operates under a license issued by the Czech central bank and approval from the Romanian central bank.
“We’ve noticed a huge appetite for forex transactions among our clients operating in imports and exports: in the first quarter of 2015, Akcenta assisted transactions of over EUR590 million (in total, on all markets served – e.n.),” said Milan Cerman, chairman of the Czech company’s board.
