UP2DATE Software Launches eID România, Enabling Banks to Read Romania's CEI via NFC

BUCHAREST, Romania - July 8, 2026 - PRLog -- UP2DATE Software today announced the official launch of eID România, a platform that enables Romanian banks and financial institutions to integrate electronic identity card reading directly into their existing customer onboarding and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes.

As Romania continues the nationwide rollout of electronic identity cards, financial institutions face the challenge of adapting existing onboarding workflows to support the new generation of identity documents. eID România addresses this challenge by allowing customer information to be securely retrieved directly from the chip embedded in the electronic identity card instead of relying on manual transcription.

The platform enables customer identification in both physical branches and mobile banking applications through native Windows, iOS and Android components, allowing banks to integrate electronic identity verification without replacing their existing core banking systems.

Key benefits include:

• Faster customer onboarding
• Accurate KYC data imported directly from the electronic identity card
• Reduced manual typing and human error
• Elimination of unnecessary photocopying of identity documents
• Native SDKs for iOS and Android mobile banking applications
• Desktop integration for branch offices
• API-first architecture designed for enterprise banking environments
• On-premises deployment options
• Zero-retention processing architecture where applicable
• Support for existing banking workflows and compliance processes

Unlike standalone identity verification services, eID România integrates into a bank's existing architecture, delivering verified identity information through secure APIs while leaving compliance, AML and KYC decision-making entirely under the bank's control.

The platform can be deployed for:

• Customer onboarding
• KYC data updates
• Loan applications
• Credit card issuance
• Branch customer identification
• Visitor management
• Identity verification as part of anti-fraud processes

"Romania is entering a new era of digital identity. Banks need practical technology that integrates with their existing infrastructure rather than replacing it. eID România was built to bridge that gap, allowing institutions to leverage electronic identity cards from day one," said Cristian George Oprea, Administrator of UP2DATE Software.

The solution is developed entirely in-house by UP2DATE Software and supports Windows, iOS and Android.

Banks can begin with a pilot implementation, allowing them to measure onboarding time reductions, data quality improvements and operational efficiency before expanding deployment across the organization.
