Russians with relatives or business connections in Hungary: forints to IBAN HU account at OTP Bank or cash. Hungary is in the EU and under sanctions, but Budapest maintains special relations with Moscow - the route is selected by ATM24 manager. Confirmation in 15 minutes.
The route, the receiving bank and the payout amount are agreed before payment.
Hungary maintains closer economic relations with Russia than many other EU countries, and Viktor Orbán's government has repeatedly opposed certain initiatives for further tightening of sanctions. At the same time, Hungary is an EU member and must apply the current EU-wide sanctions restrictions against Russia. In 2026, the EU sanctions regime continues in effect and is expanding.
For transfers from Russia, ATM24 first verifies the recipient bank and available correspondent chain, then executes the HUF transfer via SWIFT to a Hungarian bank account. An IBAN beginning with HU and containing 28 characters total is used for credit: HU + 26 subsequent characters. OTP Bank is Hungary's largest bank and parent company of CKB in Montenegro; the OTP group continues to have banking presence in Russia, however the possibility of a specific incoming transfer to Hungary depends on sanctions restrictions, the correspondent bank, and AML/KYC verification. The international credit period is several business days and is clarified depending on the recipient bank and route. For domestic transfers to a Hungarian account, credit may take from several minutes. HUF cash is available on select routes; current distribution points are clarified when submitting an ATM24 request. Payment from Russia is possible in cash RUB, USDT, and other available currencies.

Emil helped me a lot with the translation, supervised me the whole deal and explained everything, which I am very grateful and grateful to him. I got the money in 2-3 hours.Recommended.
Read full reviewHighest recommendations for this service! Honest exchange, at a good rate, everything fast, without unnecessary hassle like at other exchangers (verification, video confirmation and other crap). Pleasant people to communicate with, respond tactfully to all questions, don't disappear, perform the sequence of actions clearly. I've been in immigration for almost 10 years, traveled many countries, so I can compare. Honest and decent compatriots, especially in money exchange, practically don't exist these days, a rare dying species, as they say. Thank you, guys! It was a pleasure to interact. I will use you again and recommend to friends.
Read full reviewThey accepted payment very quickly and provided a spot to withdraw baht. They offer several methods — via terminal or courier (paid). Not a scam. Although I was initially a bit scared
Read full reviewThey helped exchange rubles to baht very quickly and efficiently, thank you!
Read full reviewThere were suspicions about transfers and receiving, so we requested a small amount, received cash right at the hotel ATM in a few minutes. Very convenient, the rate of course isn't the most favorable, but in a situation when there are only rubles on the card and you need to withdraw - an excellent solution.

Below are answers to frequently asked questions about Hungarian forint, euro in Hungary, and ways to send money to HU.
Sending money to Hungary with payout in HUF works best when the Hungary HUF payout route is checked before the sender pays. ATM24 verifies the route through a bank such as OTP Bank or Raiffeisen Bank, confirms the final payout amount, and shows the fee and timing in advance. Bank-route examples for Hungary: OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank.
The recipient can use a card or bank account for a HUF transfer to Hungary if that channel is available for the bank. Before payment, ATM24 checks OTP Bank, Erste Bank, card or account format, recipient name, and payout currency. International-card network availability is confirmed by route, not assumed for every bank. Bank-route examples for Hungary: OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank.
Banks for a HUF transfer to Hungary should be checked by the recipient's actual route; common references include OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank. ATM24 reviews bank name, account format, recipient-name spelling, and payout currency before the sender pays. A different bank can require a separate check.
For a HUF transfer to Hungary, ATM24 checks recipient details against the selected receiving route: Hungary HUF payout route, OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank, card payout, account payout, recipient name, HUF payout data, and payout-limit review for the exact receiving channel. The manager verifies name spelling, bank or card format, payout currency, and payment purpose before payment. If the recipient changes the route, the required fields are checked again. Bank-route examples for Hungary: OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank.
Transfer timing to Hungary in HUF starts from 15 minutes when the bank, card, or account route is ready. ATM24 checks OTP Bank, Erste Bank, and any route limit before payment. If the receiving bank asks for clarification, processing can take longer. Bank-route examples for Hungary: OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank.
ATM24 calculates a transfer fee from 0.9% for payouts to Hungary in HUF. The final figure depends on the Hungary HUF payout route, amount, payment method, bank such as Erste Bank, and whether the recipient receives money on a card or account. The sender sees the final payout amount before paying. Bank-route examples for Hungary: OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank.
Yes, the sender can use an available card, bank transfer, USDT, or another confirmed method while the recipient receives HUF in Hungary. The manager checks OTP Bank, Erste Bank, payout route, exchange conditions, and final amount before payment. Any card conversion or sending-bank fee remains outside the recipient payout. Bank-route examples for Hungary: OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank.
ATM24 accepts transfers to Hungary in HUF from 100 USD or the equivalent. The maximum amount is not a single country-wide number; it depends on the Hungary HUF payout route, bank rules, payout channel, sender payment method, and recipient data. For a large transfer, the manager confirms the limit and documents before the sender pays. Bank-route examples for Hungary: OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank.
Large transfers to Hungary in HUF are checked by amount, recipient route, and receiving bank. ATM24 reviews OTP Bank, Postabank, card or account payout, payment purpose, and source-of-funds information. Any document request is named before the sender pays. Bank-route examples for Hungary: OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank.
The estimated payout for sending 1000 USD to Hungary in HUF should be checked by route: 295,892.75 HUF. ATM24 reviews OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank, card or account payout, fee from 0.9%, and exchange conditions. The manager confirms the final HUF amount in the order. Bank-route examples for Hungary: OTP Bank, Erste Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, Postabank, and Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank.
