Transfond is responsible for processing interbank payments in Romania.[4] The main field of activity is the provision of clearing and settlement services for non-cash payments in national currency, for credit institutions, the National Bank of Romania and other financial institutions.[4]

In November 2022, the Beneficiary Name Display Service (SANB) was introduced, which verifies the identity of the holder of a specific IBAN.[5]

RoPay

The company is managing and operating RoPay, the instant mobile payment service that allows direct account-to-account transfers from one bank account to another in the Romanian banking system without the intermediation of card operators .[6]

Card Hotline

Transfond launched, starting with September 1, 2009, the Card Hotline (LUC), a service intended for card issuers in Romania, which provides customers of enrolled institutions with a single contact number, available 24/7/365, for blocking lost or stolen cards[2]. The system ensures that the call is taken within a maximum of 30 seconds and allows the simultaneous processing of a maximum of 90 calls.[4] In June 2010, the service was used by only five banks, namely: Banca Comercială Română, BRD-SocGen, Bancpost, Banca Transilvania and CEC Bank, which had a 60% share of the Romanian bank card market.[4] The system operated as a pilot program for nine months, during which the service recorded a monthly average of 700-800 calls, and was officially launched on 25 June 2010.[4]
