On January 1, 2026, Bulgaria marked a historic milestone by officially adopting the euro, entering the Eurozone as its 21st member.
As a trusted software vendor, CSoft ensured a smooth euro adoption for all of its clients in Bulgaria, including four banks and several non-banking financial institutions. Following carefully planned rollout schedules, the transition was completed seamlessly, supported by strong preparation, on-site team involvement, and proven expertise.
From the earliest stages of planning, our teams treated the switch from the lev to the euro as a comprehensive migration project — not just a currency update. This involved adapting every functional component of our integrated platforms, including product configurations, accounting schemes, tariffs, interest calculations, and mass account conversions, so that systems would continue operating flawlessly from the very first day of the new currency regime.
The transition itself was executed within a narrow operational window between the end of the last working day of 2025 and the start of the first working day of 2026. Within these critical hours, we completed full currency conversion, extensive testing, and reconciliation procedures — all with zero tolerance for errors. Our preparation ensured accurate conversion of accounts and products fully compliant with European payment standards.
Thanks to this strategic approach and close client engagement, the euro adoption has been successful for all of our partners. Banks and financial institutions supported by CSoft entered 2026 with stable, secure, and fully adapted systems — ready to thrive in the new euro-denominated market.
As Bulgaria embraces this new chapter in its economic journey, CSoft remains committed to providing robust and reliable banking technology that meets both current needs and future challenges.
