What documents do you need for opening a bank account?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opening a bank account in Hungary is the easiest for Hungarian and EU citizens; they need the fewest documents (basically their ID documents<\/strong> are enough). For third country residents, the procedure depends mainly on the purpose of their stay. In some cases the account is set up within a few hours, while in specific cases a resident permit may be required to complete it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a foreigner in Hungary, your main ID document is your passport<\/strong>. As such, make sure to bring it along when you want to open a bank account. If you want to open a business bank account for your company, the company registration documents<\/strong> will be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Hungarian bank should I choose?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step of opening a bank account is always to choose a bank. You should pay attention to several aspects at once, and decide which are the most important for your planned activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
