The Polish group is already present in Romania through fintech Aforti Exchange, an online exchange platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which started its operations in capital Bucharest in October 2017. Aforti Holding is listed on the NewConnect market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Aforti Finance Romania was established in April 2018, in accordance with the general strategy of Aforti Capital Group to continue its development and geographic expansion across Central and Eastern Europe.
Romania is the first external market on which Aforti Finance will start its activity, followed by Bulgaria and other countries in the sub-region of Southeast Europe.
For starters, following the model already implemented in Poland, Aforti Finance will establish a call center through which specialized consultants will be serving microenterprises and SMEs operating in all sectors and industries in Romania. Afterwards the company plans to open other units in Romania and focus on developing external distribution channels.
Aforti Finance operations will be managed from Aforti headquarters in Poland, but the operations in process will be ensured by a dedicated local team whose office will be located in Bucharest.
Aforti has been present in Romania since October 2017. The group does not rule out the possibility of continuously expanding its operations in Romania by introducing other brands in its portfolio of products, which include, among others, factoring and debt recovery services, and by expanding towards other areas of financial services.
