The Basic Account Is Open to Anyone Lawfully in the Union, Including a Person With No Residence Permit, and Its Fee Is Half a Per Cent of the Minimum Wage
Answer
The general rule applies to you
No exception is recorded for citizens of Slovakia on this topic. That is the answer, not a gap - everything below is the rule you get, unchanged.
172 exceptions recorded across 63 countries · none match Slovakia to Hungary · Opening a bank account
Hungary transposed the Union's basic account right by Government Decree No 262/2016. (VIII. 31.), and the decree is unusually explicit about who it reaches. Section 2(1) defines a person entitled to stay in an EEA state as a natural person who may lawfully stay in Hungary under a Union act or the law of an EEA state, expressly including persons with no permanent address and applicants for asylum under the 1951 Convention; section 6(1) then extends the right to initiate the contract to a consumer who holds no residence permit but whose expulsion is impossible for legal or practical reasons. The one real condition is exclusivity: the applicant must not already hold a forint payment account with another provider in Hungary and must declare so in writing, and section 6(2) stops a bank refusing on that ground where the consumer declares the other contract has been terminated. The credit institution has ten working days to accept or refuse and must give reasons in writing, free of charge, unless legislation forbids it. The price is capped rather than fixed: section 4(1) caps the monthly fees at 0.5 per cent of the smallest monthly gross minimum wage in force on the last day of the preceding year, provided the holder stays within two ATM withdrawals totalling 300,000 forints or one branch withdrawal of 50,000, and four transfers totalling 100,000. The account carries no credit line, has one holder, and its card may not be externally distinguishable from any other card the bank issues.
At a glance
- Who may open a basic account
- Anyone who may lawfully stay in Hungary under a Union act or the law of an EEA state
Section 2(1) of Government Decree No 262/2016. (VIII. 31.), which names persons with no permanent address and asylum applicants within that circle.
- Without a residence permit
- Still covered, where expulsion is impossible for legal or practical reasons
Section 6(1) of Government Decree No 262/2016. (VIII. 31.), written into the body of the provision rather than as an exception.
- Monthly fee ceiling
- 0.5 per cent of the smallest monthly gross minimum wage in force on the last day of the preceding year
Section 4(1) of Government Decree No 262/2016. (VIII. 31.). The minimum wage itself is set in a separate government decree, which was not read, so no forint amount is stated here.
- What the ceiling buys
- 2 ATM withdrawals totalling 300,000 HUF or 1 branch withdrawal of 50,000 HUF, and 4 transfers totalling 100,000 HUF
Section 4(1)(a) and (b) of Government Decree No 262/2016. (VIII. 31.), in a month. Beyond that the bank prices to its usual practice under section 4(2).
- Decision deadline
- 10 working days from a complete application
Section 7(1) of Government Decree No 262/2016. (VIII. 31.), with written reasons for a refusal under section 7(2) unless legislation forbids them.
- Exclusivity condition
- No other forint payment account in Hungary, declared in writing
Section 6(1) of Government Decree No 262/2016. (VIII. 31.). Section 6(2) prevents a refusal where the consumer declares the other contract terminated.
- Closure for inactivity
- 24 consecutive months with no payment transaction
Section 8(1)(b) of Government Decree No 262/2016. (VIII. 31.). Losing the right to stay lawfully in an EEA state is a separate ground, in point (d).
Requirements
- Lawful presence in Hungary under a Union act or EEA law - and a person whose expulsion is impossible counts
- A written declaration that you hold no other forint payment account in Hungary, or that the other one has been terminated
- Nothing else: the decree forbids tying the account to any other product or to membership of the institution
What applies to you
Nothing changes for a citizen of Slovakia
We have no rule recorded that treats your citizenship differently here, so the general rule above is the one that applies to you. That is an answer, not a gap.
What the law says
«2. § (1) E rendelet alkalmazásában EGT-államban tartózkodásra jogosult az a természetes személy, aki uniós jogi aktus vagy EGT-állam jogszabálya alapján Magyarországon jogszerűen tartózkodhat, ideértve az állandó lakhellyel nem rendelkező személyeket és a menekültek helyzetére vonatkozó 1951. évi július hó 28. napján elfogadott egyezmény, valamint a menekültek helyzetére vonatkozóan az 1967. évi január hó 31. napján létrejött jegyzőkönyv értelmében menedékkérelemért folyamodó személyt is.»Our translation - not official
Section 2 (1) For the purposes of this Decree, a natural person entitled to stay in an EEA state is one who may lawfully stay in Hungary on the basis of a Union legal act or of the law of an EEA state, including persons with no permanent address and a person applying for asylum within the meaning of the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees adopted on 28 July 1951 and the Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees of 31 January 1967.
The definition that decides the topic. It turns on lawful presence rather than on residence or on a permit.

A consumer entitled to stay in an EEA state - including a consumer who holds no residence permit but whose expulsion is not possible for legal or practical reasons - may initiate the conclusion of a framework contract for the keeping of a basic account - with the difference set out in paragraph (2) - if they hold no payment account kept in forints at another payment service provider in Hungary and have no right of disposal over such an account either. The consumer must declare this in writing when initiating the conclusion of the framework contract.
Two things in one sentence: a person with no permit is inside the right, and a person with another forint account is outside it.

Practical notes
The fee ceiling is a derived figure and this record does not derive it. The percentage is in the decree; the minimum wage is in a separate government decree that was not read, so the rule is published and the amount is not.
Nothing read here governs what a bank may demand by way of identification. Those duties are in the Act on the prevention of money laundering, which was not read, and a bank's own account-opening conditions are a fact about that bank rather than about Hungarian law.
Section 4(2a) of the decree preserves the free cash withdrawal under section 36/A of Act LXXXV of 2009 on the provision of payment services, which is a separate entitlement and was not read for this record.

The practical limitation that follows is narrower than it sounds and bites hard in one place: **an amending provision disappears from here once it has done its work.** Section 12(2) of Act CXXX of 2010 makes an amending provision lose force the day after it takes effect, and the consolidated text of the amending Act then prints only a footnote saying so, stripping the subtitle headings with it. Act XC of 2023 as served here therefore contains neither section 350 nor section 351, the two provisions that repealed the statute it replaced; Act LXXXIV of 2024 as served here contains neither section 135, which removed the 500,000 EUR property option from the guest investor programme, nor the subtitle that would say which commencement date applied to it. **For what was enacted, and for when, read the Magyar Kozlony issue.** It also cannot be cited for anything kept outside the statute book, and the 2023 immigration Act pushes a great deal out there: the government decree naming which nationalities may hold a guest worker permit or a National Card, the ministerial communication fixing the annual permit number under sections 28(4) and 30(4), the communication listing excluded occupations, the communication fixing the EU Blue Card salary under section 48(7) of Government Decree No 35/2024. (II. 29.), and the registers of preferential employers and qualified temporary-work agencies. Nor is it the place to read a figure a statute re-indexes: section 25(3) of Act CXXX of 2019 prints a health service contribution of 7,710 forints set in 2020 and in the same breath provides that the rate in force is published each year by the National Tax and Customs Administration on its own website.
