Ways of accessing online banking services
The findings of a survey realized in 2021 revealed that most Hungarians accessed online banking and insurance services using a smartphone application, with nearly half of the respondents doing so regularly. At the same time, approximately a third of the respondents used a laptop or desktop computer regularly, respectively. On the other hand, only five percent of surveyed Hungarians used a tablet computer as their primary device for accessing online banking and insurance services.
Instant Payment System
To reduce the amount of cash in circulation and promote digital payment methods, the Instant Payment System was launched in Hungary in March 2020. The new service made it available for domestic users to complete bank transfers within just a few seconds. A survey conducted in 2022 revealed that approximately 80 percent of Hungarians made instant bank transfers from time to time. Moreover, eight percent of the respondents used this service multiple times a day.
