Comertbank, a key player in Moldova’s transforming financial landscape, joins forces with Salt Edge, a leading developer of open banking solutions, to become compliant with local PSD2 regulations.

Following Europe’s lead, the Republic of Moldova is making significant progress towards fostering an inclusive, transparent financial environment by adopting open banking regulations. Such regulatory and technological advancements drive the country one step closer to developing a strong digital financial ecosystem, built on competitiveness, accessibility, and innovation.

At the forefront of these efforts is The National Bank of Moldova (NBM), which has successfully integrated the European PSD2 directive into Moldova’s legal framework. The local regulatory authority is working on supervising that financial institutions fall under the scope of open banking requirements while ensuring the right balance between nurturing innovation and protecting customer interests.

It is leading to more and more financial institutions from Moldova being keen to recognize the importance of prudent regulation and implementing robust digital services. As a market leader in open banking solutions, Salt Edge is committed to guiding these financial institutions toward meeting full PSD2 compliance in the shortest time.

For over 30 years, Comertbank has been a pillar of trust and financial support for both individuals and entrepreneurs who are developing their businesses. On a mission to help its customers improve and maximise the spectrum of online services provided, Comertbank has sought a solution compliant with the European PSD2 directive. In this way, by partnering with Salt Edge, the institution will be able to offer current and potential customers a new experience in interacting with banking products and services.

"We are committed to providing our customers with an innovative and value-added banking experience, integrating digital solutions to continuously increase customer satisfaction. The bank pays close attention to financial security and stability, providing customers with the newest and most innovative banking products to meet their expectations. Where there is a need, there is a product, and shifting from traditional banking to open banking meets this need and will align the payment services market with EU standards."
