HUF to TRY

Hungarian Forint to Turkish Lira: what you are looking at

This page tracks the rate for Hungarian Forint (HUF) and Turkish Lira (TRY), together with what real providers charge to convert one into the other. At the latest update on October 31, 2026, one HUF is worth 0.152446 TRY, while 1 TRY comes to 6.5597 HUF.

That headline number is the mid-market rate, sometimes called the interbank rate. It sits exactly halfway between what wholesale traders pay for HUF and what they ask for it. It works as a fair reference point: it contains no profit margin and no fees, and that is why few consumer services pass it on unchanged.

The amount that lands in the other account comes down to two separate costs: the margin a provider adds to that rate and the visible transfer or service fee. Below the converter and chart we take those costs apart, look at what a conversion costs in practice and share simple habits to get closer to the mid-market rate when you change HUF into TRY.

How GoldexPay compares HUF to TRY providers

Every calculation begins with the mid-market rate of 0.152446. Each provider’s published fee and markup are applied on top, to calculate what actually arrives in TRY. In total 9 providers are included, placed side by side.

We update the rates every 30 minutes, and the date on the page shows when the data was last updated. Always check the final quote in the provider’s app or website, since markets keep moving, especially when markets are busy.

GoldexPay is independent. We may earn a commission through some links. They have no influence on the order: providers are sorted purely by how much TRY the recipient gets.

500,000.00 HUF to TRY, step by step

Let’s use an amount of 500,000.00 HUF. At the mid-market rate of 0.152446, that sum sets the ceiling for what any provider could deliver in TRY. No service pays out that exact figure, since the margin and fees are taken out along the way.

Across the 9 providers in our comparison, Wise came out cheapest for this amount, with 75,857.32 TRY after all costs. Whatever is missing compared with the mid-market amount is the real price of the transfer.

Note that rankings shift with the amount you send. A flat fee hurts most when the amount is small, while the margin in the rate becomes the bigger cost on larger transfers. Enter your own amount in the converter to see the ranking that applies to you.

Hungarian Forint against Turkish Lira: the last twelve months

Compared with a year ago, the price of HUF in TRY has changed by +21.83%. During that year the top of the range was 0.155794 TRY for one HUF, while the bottom of the range was 0.124546. Today’s rate of 0.152446 can be measured against those two levels.

The distance between the high and the low puts the movement into real terms. When you convert a substantial sum, timing has a visible effect on the outcome, sometimes more than the choice of provider.

Rates are pushed around by news, economic data and supply and demand on the market. The statistics here are historical, not a forecast. If you are waiting for a particular level, use an alert or limit order rather than a hunch.

Before you send: security and large amounts

Make sure the provider is licensed. In the UK that means authorisation by the FCA, elsewhere a central bank or financial supervisor. Regulation includes rules on keeping your money apart from the company’s own.

Verify every detail of the recipient. Once money has left, getting it back is difficult. Unexpected changes to payment details are a classic warning sign. Call to confirm, using contact details you already had.

For large amounts, expect extra checks. Have documents ready that show where the money came from, for example a contract of sale or an account statement. Some providers lower their margin on request for larger customers. Some also let you lock in a rate for a short period.

HUF and TRY around the world

Hungarian Forint is the money you pay with in Hungary. Turkish Lira is what people pay with in Türkiye. That is useful to know when you plan a trip, pay an invoice or send money to family.

There are plenty of everyday reasons to convert HUF to TRY: paying suppliers, supporting relatives, buying property or simply travelling. Each situation asks for something different: a one-off large payment benefits most from a sharp rate, whereas regular small amounts suffer more from flat charges.

The way money is paid out also differs per country. Some recipients expect a bank account number with a local bank code, others an IBAN and in certain countries mobile wallets or cash collection are widely used. Check which details the provider needs before you start.

How to get a better HUF to TRY rate

Compare the total cost, not the fee alone. A small fee on its own says little if the rate is poor. The number that matters is the TRY amount after every cost, which combines the markup and the fee.

If you pay or withdraw cash in a TRY country, a terminal may offer to charge you in your home currency. The trade name for this is dynamic currency conversion. It tends to be among the most expensive ways to convert. Pick the local currency so your bank or card issuer handles the exchange.

Timing plays a role too. Rates quoted on a Saturday or Sunday can include a weekend surcharge. When there is no deadline, an alert tells you when the rate hits a level you are happy with. That avoids guessing, but there is no guarantee the rate will get there.

The payment method matters as well. A credit card may be treated as a cash advance by your card issuer, and funding by bank transfer tends to keep costs down. Combining several small payments into one larger transfer also cuts the impact of fixed fees.

SWIFT versus local payout for HUF to TRY

With a classic international transfer, the bank sends the payment through SWIFT. Your transfer may hop between several banks before it arrives, and each can take a fee. Delivery usually takes one to several working days, and the exact cost is not always clear in advance.

Dedicated providers take another route. They keep money in accounts in both regions, which means your payment and the payout both happen domestically. The result tends to be quicker and less expensive, with the final TRY amount fixed upfront.

Speed is not down to the provider alone: how you pay, the time of day, cut-off times and bank holidays in both countries. A first transfer can take longer because the provider has to verify your identity. Get verified before you need to send if timing is tight.

How providers price HUF to TRY

The majority of services do not convert at the mid-market rate itself. They offer a rate that is a little less favourable and pocket the gap. That gap is called the spread. With a 2% markup, for instance, you lose roughly 2 HUF on every 100 HUF, without it ever appearing as a fee.

Besides the hidden margin, a lot of services add a visible fee. That can be a fixed amount per transfer, a share of what you send or both at once. On classic bank transfers abroad extra deductions can follow, which shrinks the amount that finally arrives.

Take a close look at offers that say "no fees" or "0% commission". The cost often sits in the rate instead. The only fair way to compare is the final TRY figure for the same amount of HUF, and the comparison table on this page is ranked on exactly that.
