Exim Banca Românească is a bank in Romania. It used to be known as EximBank. This bank helps both businesses and people with their money. It is based in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania.
The bank started in 1992. The Romanian government owns most of the bank. This means it is a public company. The Ministry of Finance manages about 95% of the bank's shares. Other smaller groups also own tiny parts of the bank.
In 2019, EximBank bought another bank called Banca Românească. This was a big step for EximBank! Before this, EximBank mainly worked with companies. After buying Banca Românească, it became a "universal bank." This means it now helps regular people too, not just businesses. It offers services like savings accounts and loans for everyone. This deal made Exim Banca Românească one of the top 10 largest banks in Romania.
On May 10, 2023, after joining with Banca Românească, the bank changed its name to Exim Banca Românească. It officially became a bank for everyone.
