Bedeutung
Debit or credit card from a bank.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In cities like Bucharest, 'plata contactless' is the norm. Even street musicians sometimes have QR codes or card readers. In small villages, cash is still preferred. Always carry some 'numerar' if you travel outside big cities. Romanians are obsessed with Revolut. It's often used as a synonym for quick transfers between friends. Tipping on the card is a new legal feature in Romania (since 2023). You can now ask to add 10% on the POS terminal.
Just say 'Cardul'
In 90% of situations, you don't need to say 'bancar'. Just say 'Plătesc cu cardul'.
Watch the 'r'
Make sure to roll the 'r' in both words to sound like a native.
