Summary/Abstract: In the national legal system, the electronic money institutions benefited of a legal framework which transposed the existing regulations in the field at the EU level. Thus, the legal status of those law subjects faithfully followed the changes promoted by the European legislator, from the moment of their acknowledgement in Romania until now. Initially, the electronic money institutions were part of the category of credit institutions, their legal regime being the one established by Law no. 58/1998 on banking activity and after that by the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 99/2006 on the credit institutions and the adequacy of capital.
