Most business accounts in Hungary charge a monthly package fee, with separate charges for transfers, cards, cash handling and currency conversion. Neobanks such as Wise Business and Revolut Business publish low or zero monthly fees for smaller users, while traditional banks such as OTP Bank, MBH Bank, K&H Bank, Erste Bank Hungary and Raiffeisen Bank bundle services into a single monthly price. The reliable way to compare is to read each provider fee schedule as of the date you apply. Figures below are shown as of 19 November 2025.

What business accounts cost in Hungary

A Hungarian business account fee usually has several parts: a monthly account or package fee, per transaction fees for transfers and direct debits, card fees, cash deposit and withdrawal fees, and currency conversion costs on payments outside the forint. Traditional banks tend to bundle a set number of transactions into the monthly fee, then charge for extras. Neobanks tend to advertise a low headline fee and charge for items such as cash handling or transfers beyond a monthly allowance. One item is specific to Hungary, the financial transaction duty that banks may pass on to certain transfers and cash withdrawals. Comparing only the headline fee can mislead, so add the items your business actually uses.

Monthly account fees

Monthly package fees at traditional banks such as OTP Bank, MBH Bank, K&H Bank, Erste Bank Hungary and Raiffeisen Bank are set per package and per bank, so the figure varies and we do not publish a single number. Neobanks publish lower headline fees, with Wise Business charging no monthly fee and Revolut Business offering a free Basic plan, both as of 19 November 2025. Confirm current figures with the provider, since some quotes exclude VAT and the financial transaction duty.

Transaction, card and cash fees

Beyond the monthly fee, watch the per item charges. Transfers and direct debits may be included up to an allowance, then priced per item, and a financial transaction duty can apply on top. A business debit card may be included or charged separately, and extra cards usually cost more. Cash deposits and withdrawals often carry a fee at traditional banks and may be unavailable at neobanks. Foreign currency payments add a conversion cost, which multi currency providers such as Wise Business price close to the mid market rate. Read each fee schedule for the current figures.

Fees to check before you open

Look at these fee items before you commit, because the cheapest headline price is not always the cheapest overall. Verify with the provider

  • Monthly account or package fee, and what it includes. Traditional banks such as OTP Bank and MBH Bank price each package differently, so read the current schedule as of 19 November 2025.
  • Transfer, direct debit and card fees, plus any allowance of free transactions and any financial transaction duty passed on. Neobank plans such as Wise Business with no monthly fee and Revolut Business with a free Basic plan differ widely in what counts as free, as of 19 November 2025.
  • Cash deposit and withdrawal fees, and currency conversion costs. Neobanks often limit free ATM withdrawals and may decline cash deposits, while multi currency providers such as Wise Business price foreign exchange separately. Verify current figures with the provider.

How to compare fees

  1. List the transactions your business makes in a typical month: transfers, card payments, cash, and any foreign currency. This is the basis for a fair comparison.
  2. Read each provider fee schedule and total the monthly fee plus the per item charges for your usage, including any financial transaction duty. Note that some quotes exclude VAT.
  3. Check the cost of the items you use most, such as foreign payments or cash handling, since these often outweigh the headline monthly fee. Confirm the current schedule with the provider before opening.
