If you have a Wise personal or Business account, and your registered address is in Hungary, you might notice increased fees from February 2025. These are variable fees on top of the regular fees you pay when you use our services.
You can check the current and all updated fees on our pricing page.
Why is this happening?
This change is due to local tax regulations in Hungary, which make it more expensive for us to offer certain services in the country.
Under Hungarian law, financial institutions, including Wise, must pay additional taxes when offering financial services to customers in Hungary.
We're increasing some of our fees for customers with a registered address in Hungary — this is so we can continue offering our services sustainably and comply with local regulations. These tax charges will be added on top of the usual fees we charge for each service.
If you've moved and no longer live in Hungary, you can update your address on Wise.
What's changing?
You'll see a price increase on top of the usual fees we charge you, when using one of these services:
Paying for a transfer on Wise, either by bank transfer or card payment
Sending money from your Wise balance to either a bank account outside of Wise, or to another Wise account
Withdrawing cash with your Wise card
See more fees for sending money and withdrawing cash.
How the changes affect your personal account
These changes affect transactions in any currency. The table shows fee changes for same-currency transfers (HUF to HUF, EUR to EUR), and also cross-currency transfers (HUF to USD, EUR to HUF, USD to GBP).
The limits and examples are stated in HUF, but if you're using another currency, then it's the equivalent in that currency to the amount in HUF.

Examples
Right now, we charge you a 325 HUF fixed fee if you pay for a transfer on Wise via bank transfer in the same currency. If you send 100,000 HUF to HUF from February 2025, you'll pay the 325 HUF fixed fee, plus a 0.45% of the amount. This means your total fee will be 773 HUF — this is the same for Wise Business accounts.
Right now, we don't charge anything when you send money from your Wise balance to another Wise account, or to an account outside of Wise, in the same currency. If you pay out up to 50,000 HUF from your HUF balance after February 2025, you still won't be charged anything. But if you pay out more, we'll charge 0.45% on the amount after the fee-free 50,000. This means if you pay out 100,000 HUF to HUF, your total fee will be 224 HUF.
