    Forecasts for USD to HUF

     

    The USD to HUF exchange rate is currently experiencing significant volatility, with forex analysts noting the USD trading near 90-day highs at approximately 376.9 HUF, which represents a 4.3% increase above its 3-month average of 361.3 HUF. This surge can be partly attributed to recent mixed economic data from the United States, where stronger ADP payroll figures provided an initial boost to the USD before a disappointing slowdown in the third-quarter GDP reined in those gains. Furthermore, the upcoming release of the core PCE price index is anticipated to have a substantial impact on the dollar's trajectory; should inflation show signs of cooling, FX economists predict the USD may falter against the forint.

    How to get a good USD to HUF exchange rate

    There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting US dollar to Hungarian forint:

    1. Shop around for the best USD/HUF exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
    2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the USD/HUF rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
    3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
    4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both USD and HUF at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
    5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

    The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

    Generally speaking, if you are buying Hungarian forint with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/HUF exchange rate to be higher.

    However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

    The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

    Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
