Exchange:
Always
exchange money at licensed booths because
forged bank notes are a big problem in Hungary.
The licensed booths will always operate
under the consortium of a Hungarian commercial
bank. Photo ID may be required for exchange
of money. Travellers cheques are hard to
change in Hungary therefore it is best to
take notes.

Most
credit cards are accepted, the most common
being American Express, Diners Club, EnRoute,
Euro/Mastercard, JCB and Visa, and these
can be used to withdraw cash from banks
and ATMs and to pay bills in hotels, restaurants
and most shops.
Banks:
Banks
generally open between 8am and 4pm on weekdays
and some are open on Saturdays.
