Raiffeisen Bank returns to BVB trading

Business Forum
Raiffeisen Bank has officially rejoined the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) as a trading participant, marking its return to the Romanian capital market after relaunching brokerage services in December 2025.

The bank has resumed brokerage services on both the BVB and international markets. Starting this year, customers will access these services through a digital platform allowing direct investment from mobile phones. Since December 2025, Raiffeisen Private Banking customers have been able to trade shares of companies listed on BVB and international markets in Europe and the US, using RON, euros, and dollars.

In 2026, Raiffeisen Bank plans to launch a digital interface for brokerage services, enabling all customers to open investment accounts directly from the mobile app. The digital investment app, developed with CTS Trade IT software company, will allow customers to sign up from mobile devices and receive trading instructions, transaction confirmations, and holdings digitally.

"By launching brokerage services on regulated markets, Raiffeisen Bank is strengthening their role as a financial partner for their customers," said Cristian Sporiș, Vice President, Corporate and Investment Banking Division at Raiffeisen Bank Romania. Remus Vulpescu, CEO of BVB, added:  "Raiffeisen Bank's presence strengthens the modern trading framework provided by the Exchange."

Raiffeisen Bank has a history on the Romanian capital market dating back to 1998, when it became a founding member of BVB through subsidiary Raiffeisen Capital & Investment. The bank held BVB Participant status during 2014-2018 and has issued multiple bonds, including Romania's first green bond worth over €80 million in 2021. Currently, Raiffeisen Bank has six bond issues traded on BVB with an aggregate value of €680 million.
