Account details are a set of details for a currency to receive money.
Once you get your HUF account details, you’ll have your own account details where you can receive Hungarian forint.
This isn’t a bank account, but you can receive money in the same way by sharing the details with friends, family, clients or companies so that they can send money to you.
They can pay you locally from their Hungarian bank, or internationally via Swift. Once you receive the money, it’ll be credited to your HUF balance.
Opening new account details
You’ll first need to open a HUF balance. Then you select Get your account details and follow the steps.
We’ll need to verify you before we can provide details to you.
Checking your account details
Once you've opened your account details with us, on the app or web:
Go on your HUF balance
Select the account details button just under the currency
You can view and copy your account details to share with others
You can also request payments from your sender.

Payments from inside Hungary
To receive domestic transfers in HUF, share this with the sender:
Your name
Account number
IBAN
The sender’s bank will give them an estimate when they set up the payment — for any details about how long it takes, reach out to your sender so they can ask their bank.
Request-to-Pay
If you have HUF account details, you’ll be able to accept Requests-to-Pay (RTP or R2P), also known as Payment Requests, from others through your Wise account.
This feature is available for all personal customers. For business customers, it's only available if you don't have multiple users on your business account. We're working on making this available to all business customers.
Accept a Request-to-Pay
Once someone sends you a request, view it from your web or app:
Select Review on the request
Confirm the details and select Accept and pay
Select your payment method, which will be your HUF balance
Select Confirm and send to complete your payment for the request
Decline a Request-to-Pay
Select Review on the request
Select Reject
Confirm that you want to decline the request
Can I send a Request-to-Pay?
At the moment, you can’t send request-to-pay to other banks.
Payments from outside Hungary
If your payer can't make a domestic transfer, you can use your HUF details to receive Swift payments.
Payments by Swift to HUF details
To receive international payments via Swift share following details with the sender:
Your name
IBAN
Swift/BIC code
Bank name and bank address shown on your account details screen
The IBAN is a combination of letters and numbers that represent things like country, bank code, and branch code. Use our IBAN checker if you need to break down the codes into BIC and account number.
They can send international Swift payments to your account from anywhere in the world. Keep in mind it's usually cheaper and faster to receive to local account details.
They should only send you HUF to these account details, because we can't process international payments in any other currency.
We don’t charge any additional fees to receive international payments in HUF, but correspondent banks might apply their own fees.
Wise has an entity in Belgium, so we use the Belgian BIC code and a Wise address in Belgium for some of our European currency accounts, including HUF. You can still use the Belgian BIC to receive payments in HUF to your HUF balance.
Payments by Swift to GBP details
You can also receive HUF from outside Hungary by Swift into your GBP IBAN.
Let the sender know that you want to receive in HUF into your GBP details so you can avoid conversion fees. Some banks might recognise the GBP IBAN and want to convert to GBP, but this isn't necessary.
If their bank asks them the country of the recipient’s (your) bank, tell them to put the United Kingdom.
