In June 2019, Export-Import Bank of Romania has signed an agreement with National Bank of Greece (NBG) to acquire 99.28% stake in Banca Românească (BROM).[1] Following the completion of the deal, EximBank will foray into the domestic retail banking market and will become a universal commercial bank. As a result of the deal, EximBank's market share is said to increase by 3%, placing it at one of the top 10 largest tenders in the country.[citation needed]
As a result of the merger with Banca Românească, on 10 May 2023, EximBank relaunched itself from a corporate bank to a universal bank, under the new name Exim Banca Românească.[2]
