Exim Banca Romaneasca participates in a syndicated loan of 110 million euros granted to Moov Leasing for business expansion
Moov Leasing, a Romanian company specializing in 100% digital operational leasing for individuals, microenterprises, and SMEs, has secured a syndicated loan worth €110 million, in which Exim Banca Romaneasca also participated, to support its national expansion plans.
“As long-standing supporters of Romania’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, we are delighted to be part of Moov Leasing’s success and to back the company’s sustainable growth strategy. Romanian entrepreneurs will always find an open door at Exim Banca Romaneasca, as our mission is to foster business and economic development by offering companies the best solutions to strengthen their market position or expand their operations”, said Traian Halalai, Executive President of Exim Banca Romaneasca.
The facility is aligned with the company’s sustainability objectives, with the reduction of CO₂ emissions intensity from its vehicle fleet being its primary KPI. This marks Moov Leasing’s first syndicated loan of this type and one of the largest financing obtained by such a young Romanian company just two years after launching its operations. The transaction represents a defining milestone, underscoring market confidence in Moov Leasing’s innovative mobility model and its commitment to sustainable business practices and technologies.
The capital raised will directly support Moov Leasing’s plans to expand its services, enabling the company to offer accessible operational leasing solutions to a broader client base of individuals and SMEs. The financing also includes an option for future increase.
“This funding is a key moment for Moov Leasing, validating our vision. It enables us to invest directly in what matters most to us: our customers. We will be able to provide enhanced services for both current and future partners,” said Mircea Dihel, Co-Founder of Moov Leasing.
“The syndicated loan confirms our mission to revolutionize access to mobility for individuals and SMEs. We thank our financial partners and advisors for their trust, and we are confident that together we will accelerate the adoption of innovative and sustainable solutions,” added Bogdan Speteanu, Co-Founder of Moov Leasing.
The syndicated loan was granted by a consortium of lenders composed of: UniCredit Bank SA – Global Coordinator, Bookrunner, Mandated Lead Arranger and Co-Documentation Agent; UniCredit SpA – Co-Sustainability Agent; Banca Transilvania SA – Mandated Lead Arranger, Co-Documentation Agent, and Facility Agent; Raiffeisen Bank SA – Mandated Lead Arranger, Co-Sustainability Agent, and Security Agent; Exim Banca Romaneasca SA – Mandated Lead Arranger. Sustain LCM Finance, founded by Gratia Annamaria Popescu, a former banker with recognized expertise in coordinating syndicated loans, acted as a consultant on behalf of Moov Leasing for this sustainable syndicated financing.
“We are proud to act as Global Coordinators in such a relevant transaction for Moov Leasing and an innovative milestone for the Romanian market. This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting our clients’ strategic initiatives and delivering smart financial solutions tailored to their evolving needs in a rapidly transforming sector. We appreciate the trust placed in UniCredit Bank through the recognition of our syndicated lending capabilities and are pleased to support Moov Leasing’s sustainable development strategy in this field,” stated Daniel Sava, Head of Advisory & Financing Solutions, Corporate Division, UniCredit Bank SA.
