Does anyone know some good books with information about the finance of overseas trade around the 14th – 16th century?

Try some of the books focussing on the Hanseatic League and its workings .

A classic on trade is Peter Spufford's The merchant in Medieval Europe.

Eh? In Romania? Dunno... In a university library I guess, or in a good bookstore... I myself had to buy it for a university class on Medieval economy, so the local bookshops (who specifically supply students) had it in store.

I however see I didn't give the complete title:

Peter Spufford, Power and profit. The merchant in Medieval Europe (Published by Thames & Hudson Ltd., London, in 2002)

It's rather enjoyable, with lots of pictures (and endnotes, unfortunately). It's about land trade as well, if anyone finds that interesting...
