The Financial Administration has issued a reminder to businesses that starting May 1, 2026, sellers will be legally required to offer customers the option of cashless payments for any transaction exceeding 1 euro. The measure, part of new legislation, is designed to boost transparency in the economy and improve convenience for buyers, while cash payments will remain available.
The obligation applies to all sellers registered in the eKasa system, except those with legal exemptions.
Businesses failing to comply risk fines ranging from €500 to €15,000 upon repeated inspections.
Sellers can choose the method that best suits their operations, including QR code payments, which allow customers to pay directly via mobile phone without a payment terminal.
For small businesses, sole traders, or market vendors, the VRP2 application offers a free solution to record sales, generate QR codes, and track payments in real time.
Banks will not charge fees for notifications of non-cash payments until the end of 2027, and credit transfers of these payments to sellers’ accounts will also remain free of charge.
