Provident Financial Romania

Provident Financial Romania is a subsidiary of the British-based International Personal Finance (IPF) Group, a prominent home credit provider operating across Europe, Mexico, and Australia. With a customer base of 2.3 million in 9 European countries, it is listed among the top 250 international companies traded on the London Stock Exchange.

Additionally, the company strongly advocates for inclusive and responsible lending and is committed to supporting various social responsibility programs, investing over €1,100,000 in areas such as financial education, environmental initiatives, and support for underprivileged groups. Having been established in 1997, Provident Financial Romania has made significant contributions to the Romanian economy, with investments exceeding €300 million and tax payments of over €100 million to the state budget. It currently employs almost 2,300 individuals across more than 60 cities in the country. The company's dedication to social responsibility is evident in its support for Siguranta Financiara, an online resource center for financial and entrepreneurship education, and the launch of Stii cu banii, the first online gaming platform for financial literacy which has garnered more than 12,000 users.
