Romanian payment solutions company Selfpay has signed a €1 million investment credit facility with BT to accelerate its development plans through the acquisition of new payment terminals that will be operated directly by the company.

The loan will be repaid monthly starting from 28 February 2026, with a final maturity date of 30 January 2030. The facility is part of the company's strategy to expand its payment terminal network and strengthen its market position.

Additionally, Selfpay has secured a RON 20 million (around €4 million) credit line from Banca Transilvania, valid until 22 November 2027. This credit line is designed to ensure adequate liquidity levels for current operations and support the company's development plans.

"The accessing of these facilities is part of our prudent liquidity management strategy and consolidation of the issuer's financial position," said Adrian Badea, General Director of Selfpay.

The company stated that contracting these credit facilities will not have a significant impact on the company's debt structure and will not affect the obligations assumed by the issuer towards bondholders on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB).
