Further down we go through the practical side: receiving money at Hungaria Order Kft, paying someone in another country and how to check the code before you hit send. A SWIFT code identifies a bank or branch, not a specific account, which is why you always need the account number too.
Do you need HUOKHUH1 for a SEPA transfer?
Within the SEPA zone, euro payments to Hungaria Order Kft follow the same rules, so the IBAN does the job in most cases. A field for the BIC is usually optional or missing in that case.
Outside the euro and from non-SEPA countries, HUOKHUH1XXX remains part of the payment details. A few banks and apps also ask for the BIC out of habit; if so, fill in HUOKHUH1.
Instant euro transfers have become widely available within SEPA; check with Hungaria Order Kft whether it applies to your account. Fees for SEPA payments tend to be low as long as everything stays in euros.
Scams that use SWIFT codes
Be wary if a contact unexpectedly wants you to pay into another account. The fact that HUOKHUH1 exists does not mean that the account is legitimate.
Verify new bank details through a different channel, such as a phone number you already know. Watch out for urgent requests, unusual wording or a sender address that is slightly off. If a payment was sent to a fraudster, contact your bank immediately: the sooner they act, the better the chance of a recall.
People receiving money are targeted too: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much followed by a request to refund the difference. Do not act before the money has really arrived – ask Hungaria Order Kft if something looks wrong.
How up to date is this code?
The codes here are taken from public sources. Still, banks merge, rename themselves or change codes, so information can be out of date. Figures such as the number of codes come from our own dataset and may differ from what Hungaria Order Kft publishes.

Before you send: check the Hungaria Order Kft code
Ask the recipient to send you their account details straight from their banking app. Compare it with HUOKHUH1 here; if they differ, ask before you pay.
If the code is wrong, the transfer might get stuck, bounce back or cost extra – sometimes after weeks of searching. Remember the IBAN: an error there can be more difficult to correct than a wrong code.
A format check in your banking app only confirms that the code is valid – not that it belongs to the person you mean to pay. Where available, a name check on the recipient gives extra certainty. Sending a small amount first is a sensible step for large sums despite the extra fee.
What the XXX in HUOKHUH1XXX means
Every SWIFT/BIC code has the same eight core characters: four letters for the bank, a two-letter country code and two characters for the location. Together, these eight characters make up HUOKHUH1.
XXX at the end of HUOKHUH1XXX is not a placeholder or an error: it stands for the head office of Hungaria Order Kft. Some forms insist on 11 characters, in which case you can enter XXX after HUOKHUH1.
Enter the code as one block, in upper case and without spaces, exactly as shown here. Look out for the letter O and the digit 0 and the letter I and the digit 1; they are easy to mix up.
How long does an international transfer to Hungaria Order Kft take?
There is no fixed answer for international payments: some land the same day or the next, others take several business days. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country add extra days, since banks do not process on those days. Occasionally a bank wants to know about the purpose of a payment before releasing it.
If a transfer is late, contact your bank about the tracking status or the UETR so they can trace it along the chain. Specialist transfer services often show tracking online showing where the money is.
If a payment has not arrived after a few business days, the sender needs to contact their own bank. On the receiving end, it helps to check your statements for a slightly lower amount, since fees may have been deducted.
Choosing between the 2 SWIFT codes of Hungaria Order Kft

Not sure which code to use? Check with the recipient, or look at a recent statement from Hungaria Order Kft. Codes for branches are more prone to change than the head office code when a bank merges or closes offices.
What a transfer from Hungaria Order Kft abroad really costs
The price of a payment abroad has several parts, and the transfer fee is only the most visible one. Besides the transfer fee, correspondent or intermediary banks can deduct a fee, and when the money changes currency the bank often uses a rate below the actual market rate.
The real cost is often in the rate: the bank converts using an exchange rate that includes a margin. A simple test: put the rate you get next to the mid-market rate and work out the difference on your amount.
Specialised transfer providers frequently use a rate near the mid-market rate with clearer fees. On GoldexPay you can compare the amount that arrives across services. Choosing a specialist does not mean leaving Hungaria Order Kft – you pay the provider from your own account.
Sending HUF to Hungaria Order Kft
Hungary uses the Hungarian Forint. If you send another currency gets converted at some point: by your bank, an intermediary or Hungaria Order Kft itself. There is rarely a separate charge for the conversion; it is built into the rate.
Which bank converts the money matters. Transferring the amount directly in HUF often avoids an extra conversion by Hungaria Order Kft, provided the rate you get is fair.
The HUF rate changes constantly and quotes are often valid only for a short time. With bigger transfers, even small gap in the rate adds up quickly.
Incoming international payments to Hungaria Order Kft
Someone abroad who wants to pay you will ask for a few details about your account – incomplete details often cause delays. What they need is: your name, account number or IBAN, HUOKHUH1XXX and in many cases your postal address.
Certain sending banks also ask for the bank’s address. Double-check every detail before you send them – a sender rarely spots a mistake in someone else’s details.
The amount you receive is often less than the amount sent. Correspondent banks can take a fee, Hungaria Order Kft may charge for incoming payments, and if the money is converted, an exchange rate margin applies. On invoices, it is common to agree who bears the costs to avoid a shortfall.
