Common questions about IBANs in Hungary

It is HU. Every IBAN in Hungary starts with HU, followed by 2 check digits.

Where do I find my IBAN?

In your online banking or banking app, on a bank statement, or by asking your bank. Copy it exactly as shown.

No. A correct format only means the length and check digits fit. It does not prove the account exists or belongs to the right person. Confirm the details with the person you are paying before you send money.
