Expat Living Costs and Banking Tips in Hungary

For expats living in Hungary, the typical monthly living costs hover around 330,000 HUF (approximately 925 USD), which includes rent, utilities, groceries, and leisure activities. When it comes to banking, while credit and debit cards are widely accepted, it's crucial to ensure your card provider has low foreign transaction fees. Many expats find it's beneficial to keep a local bank account for everyday expenses, as ATM withdrawals or purchases in HUF often provide better rates than converting cash abroad.

When considering how to handle money, using online transfer services like Wise or OFX can often provide better exchange rates than exchanging cash locally, primarily for larger amounts. For daily expenses, withdrawing cash from ATMs can also be a smart strategy, but be aware of the withdrawal limits and potential fees. In summary, for expats intending to settle in Hungary, understanding local banking practices and managing cash effectively can lead to significant savings.
