Romania's digital wallet, RO Wallet, will launch on January 14, 2027, initially for users with electronic ID cards. The application will allow users to prove their identity and store electronic documents for public and private institutions. It will include personal identification data and will enable selective data sharing. Payment functionalities will be available by the end of 2027, depending on bank adaptations. The project will cost over 100 million euros, funded by the state budget, and usage will be voluntary and free for individuals. The digital wallet will not replace physical IDs but will serve as an electronic alternative.
