TRY to HUF

The TRY/HUF exchange rate: rate, costs and context

This page follows the rate for Turkish Lira (TRY) and Hungarian Forint (HUF), together with the cost of an actual conversion at a range of providers. As of October 31, 2026, one TRY is worth 6.5597 HUF, and one HUF comes to 0.152446 TRY.

The rate shown above is the mid-market rate. It is the midpoint between the price at which large banks buy TRY and the price at which they sell it. Think of it as a neutral benchmark: no fee or margin is built in, so consumers almost never receive it in full.

The amount that lands in the other account is shaped by two things: the margin a provider adds to that rate and the visible transfer or service fee. Further down we take those costs apart, show how they add up on a real amount and list practical steps to keep more of your money when you change TRY into HUF.

How our TRY/HUF comparison works

We start from the live mid-market rate for TRY/HUF. Each provider’s published fee and markup are applied on top, which gives the amount the recipient receives. In total 9 providers are included, so you can see the differences at a glance.

We update the rates every 30 minutes, with October 31, 2026 as the reference date. Providers confirm their own price at checkout, since markets keep moving, especially when markets are busy.

We are not owned by any provider. Some of the links are affiliate links, which help pay for the site. That never changes the ranking: the provider that delivers the most HUF comes first, whether or not we have a link to it.

Delivery times and routes for HUF transfers

Your regular bank usually sends the money through SWIFT. Along the way one or more intermediary banks may handle it, each of which can deduct a charge. Expect anything from one to a few working days, with the full cost not always known upfront.

Many money transfer apps use a different model. They have local accounts on both sides, so your TRY stays in the TRY system and the recipient is paid in HUF from a local account. This usually cuts both time and cost, and you see exactly what will arrive before you confirm.

Delivery time depends on several factors: funding method, verification and holidays in the sending and receiving country. A first transfer can take longer as the provider completes its checks. Upload your documents early when a deadline is involved.

Turkish Lira against Hungarian Forint: the last twelve months

Across the last year, the price of TRY in HUF moved by -17.92%. In that period the rate peaked at 8.0292 HUF per TRY, and the bottom of the range was 6.4187. At 6.5597, the rate today is easy to place within that band.

That range between high and low is a useful reminder of how far the rate can travel. For a bigger amount, the moment of conversion matters in actual money, occasionally more than the difference between providers.

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 want to act on a certain rate, a rate alert is a calmer option than trying to predict the market.

Safety checks before you convert TRY to HUF

Make sure the provider is licensed. A regulated provider is registered with a supervisor such as the FCA or your national central bank. Regulation includes rules on keeping your money apart from the company’s own and that offers protection if the company fails.

Verify every detail of the recipient. Mistakes are rarely fixed quickly with transfers abroad. Watch out for pressure, urgency or a last-minute change of account details: confirm by phone using a number you already know.

Big sums usually trigger extra verification. You may need to show proof of the source of funds, for example a contract of sale or an account statement. For big amounts it can pay to ask for a better rate. A rate lock, where offered, removes uncertainty while the money is on its way.

Exchange rate markup and fees on TRY/HUF

The majority of services will not give you the mid-market rate itself. They quote a slightly worse rate and pocket the gap. People call this the exchange rate margin. A markup of 2%, for example, means that about 2 out of every 100 TRY never reach the recipient.

Next to that markup, a lot of services charge an explicit fee. It may be a fixed amount per transfer, a share of what you send or a mix of both. With international bank payments extra deductions can follow, so the recipient gets less than you expected.

Look twice at anything sold as commission-free. Free usually means the price is built into the exchange rate. What really counts is the total amount that arrives in HUF for the same amount of TRY, which is how the table above is sorted.

Getting the most HUF for your TRY

Look at the final amount, not just the fee. A small fee on its own says little because the margin can make up the difference. The fairest figure to compare is the amount received, and that already includes both the markup and the fee.

At foreign tills and cash machines, you may be asked whether to pay in TRY or in the local currency. This is called dynamic currency conversion. The rate used is usually poor. Choose the local currency and the conversion follows your card’s own terms.

Timing plays a role too. At weekends, with the wholesale market shut, some services add an extra buffer to the rate. For transfers that can wait, a rate alert or limit order lets you convert automatically once TRY/HUF reaches a level you choose. It saves you from checking the rate every day, but the target may never be reached.

Finally, look at how you pay. Card payments often cost more than a bank transfer, while funding by bank transfer tends to keep costs down. Bundling smaller transfers means fixed charges hit you fewer times.

Sample calculation for 50,000.00 TRY

Let’s use an amount of 50,000.00 TRY. At the mid-market rate of 6.5597, that sum sets the ceiling for what is possible on the HUF side. In reality every provider keeps something, as costs are deducted somewhere in the process.

Looking at all 9 providers we track, Wise came out cheapest for this amount and paid out 326,362.49 HUF after all costs. Whatever is missing compared with the mid-market amount shows the true cost, fees and margin combined.

Note that rankings shift with the amount you send. Fixed fees weigh heavily on small sums, while the margin in the rate becomes the bigger cost on larger transfers. Try your actual amount in the calculator above to see the ranking that applies to you.

The countries behind TRY and HUF

Turkish Lira is the currency of Türkiye. Hungarian Forint is the official currency of Hungary. That is useful to know for anyone who earns in one of these currencies and spends in the other.

There are plenty of everyday reasons to convert TRY to HUF: moving abroad, studying, doing business or sending a gift. Not every situation needs the same solution: a one-off large payment calls for the best rate, whereas regular small amounts suffer more from flat charges.

Payout methods vary from country to country. Some recipients expect a bank account number with a local bank code, others an IBAN and in certain countries cash pickup or mobile money is common. Ask the recipient for the exact details in advance.
