A Hungarian limited company, the Kft, and a corporation, the Zrt or Nyrt, must open at least one forint payment account, by law within a short window after registration, so a domestic Hungarian bank usually anchors the setup. Many companies then add Wise Business or Revolut Business for cheaper multi currency payments, and Payoneer for receiving from platforms. Incorporated companies have the widest choice of providers. Fees and eligibility shown as of 29 March 2026.

What LLC and Corporations in Hungary need from a business account

An incorporated Hungarian company, most commonly a korlatolt felelossegu tarsasag or Kft, is required to hold at least one forint payment account, and that account must be opened soon after registration. Reputable sources put the window at about eight days from registration, so a domestic Hungarian bank is the practical starting point. From there the choice widens. Companies that trade or pay vendors abroad add a multi currency account such as Wise Business or Revolut Business to cut conversion costs, while Payoneer helps those receiving from marketplaces and platforms. Incorporated companies are accepted by the main neobanks, unlike sole traders, so the Kft and the Zrt have the broadest set of options. Confirm the current account opening rules with your accountant.

Questions about banking for LLC and Corporations in Hungary

Does a Hungarian Kft have to open a forint bank account?
Yes. A company registered in Hungary, including a Kft, Bt, Kkt or Zrt, is required to hold at least one forint payment account, and reputable guidance puts the window at about eight days after registration. Foreign currency accounts are optional additions. Confirm the current rule with your accountant. This is general information, not advice.
Can a Hungarian company use Wise Business or Revolut Business as its only account?
Most companies use them alongside a domestic forint account rather than instead of it, because Hungarian law requires at least one forint payment account. Wise Business and Revolut Business are strong for multi currency payments but do not replace the mandatory domestic account. Confirm current rules with your accountant.
Is the director's residency a factor for company accounts?
It can be. Revolut Business requires the applicant to reside in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, while Wise Business and Payoneer are more flexible for international directors. Domestic banks may require in person verification. Confirm current eligibility with each provider as of 29 March 2026.
What fees should companies in Hungary watch?
Watch the domestic account monthly and transaction fees, neobank plan fees, currency conversion margins, and the Hungarian financial transaction charge on many payments. Compare the full schedule rather than the headline price, as of 29 March 2026.
