Opening a Business Account in Hungary

A business (corporate) account is a type of financial account specifically designed to meet the needs of businesses. It is opened in the name of the company and is typically used for corporate transactions with partners, suppliers, and customers. With a corporate account, businesses can:

• Make payments (SEPA and SWIFT);
• Implement salary projects with payment cards (plastic and virtual);
• Get a variety of additional benefits, such as simplified reporting, auditing, and bookkeeping, etc.

Modern business accounts offer features such as online and mobile banking, allowing users to open an online account with no paperwork.

Opening a corporate account in Hungary is straightforward.

You have two choices: traditional banks or neobanks/EMIs like Satchel. The accounts available in both options offer the same functionality, as they provide a unique IBAN for conducting essential financial operations for your business.

The main difference between the two is the speed, convenience, and ease of account opening. With an EMI, the entire process is done online, from submitting the form to scanning documents and completing the onboarding.

At Satchel, corporate account options are available to both EU and non-EU residents, so you won’t need to make a trip abroad to open an account in person.

You will need to provide the following documents to open a business account with Satchel:

1. The online application form.
2. Copy of the business owner’s passport or ID (only for citizens or residents of the EU or the EEA).
3. Proof of address.
4. A detailed business description.
5. Corporate documents.
6. Supporting documents on clients/suppliers.
