What is an IBAN Number in Hungary?

An IBAN is an International Bank Account Number. In Hungary, it gives a domestic bank account a standard international format used for SEPA payments, euro transfers, and cross-border bank transfers.

A Hungarian IBAN starts with HU and includes two check digits followed by a Hungarian GIRO account number. That account number contains the bank code, branch-office identifier, account details, and national check digits.
