Banking and Currency

Although a member of the European Union (EU) since 2004,
Hungary has not yet joined the Eurozone. Hungary still uses its
own currency, the forint (although many places will also accept
dollars and euros). The banking system is generally excellent,
and there are cash machines (ATMs) every where, as well as
foreign exchange bureaux. It is advisable to change money in
a bank, as exchange rates are better, and the commission is
far lower. The use of credit and debit cards is widespread, and An ATM cash dispenser, typically found all

Banknotes
Hungary’s currency is the forint (Ft).
Banknotes come in denominations of 500,
1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000. It
can be difficult to pay using Ft 10,000 and

The forint is available in six coin
denominations: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200
