MIA gives Moldova a domestic instant account-payment brand alongside leu bank transfers and cards. Cross-border European transfer connections add cross-border access in a smaller economy whose population was approximately 2.36 million and GDP per capita about US$8,600 in 2025.
Cash in Republic of Moldova
Cash remains important in Moldova's rural shops and markets, while cities offer cards and MIA transfers. Access differs in Transnistria, where cards issued outside the market generally do not work and a separate ruble circulates.
