Zitec, a Romanian IT and digital transformation group, has announced an approximate 20% increase in turnover for H1 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

The company's growth comes despite a challenging economic climate and is largely attributed to the accelerated performance of its financial services business line.

Alex Lăpușan, CEO & Co-founder of Zitec, said: “The accelerated growth of our financial services business line, both in Romania and in mature markets like the USA and Western Europe, demonstrates our capacity to innovate and adapt to global dynamics.”

The financial services sector saw its revenues double in H1 2025, a significant driver of the group's overall results.

This growth was supported by projects for major financial institutions in both CEE and the USA.
