Opening a Bank Account

To receive your monthly Stipendium Hungaricum grant or any other allowances payable by the University, you will need to open a Hungarian bank account at any bank available in Pécs.

Ask your native Hungarian buddy/mentor to go with you and help you with translation. Take all personal documents with you, including passport, student status certificate and residence permit, if you have already received them! After opening your new bank account number, go to your Faculty’s Registry office and provide them with your Hungarian bank account number so they can upload it to your file. As long as your account number is not in the system, you will not receive any of your monthly allowances, therefore please do this as soon as possible but Not later than the 30th of October!
