Common questions from Hungarian companies

Can a Hungarian Kft or Zrt open a UK business account?
Yes. Hungarian Kft (Korlátolt felelősségű társaság) and Zrt (Zártkörűen működő részvénytársaság) companies can apply directly — no UK-registered entity is required. Hungarian directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners can all apply from Hungary without travelling to the UK. No UK address is needed by anyone in the company structure. Bt (Betéti társaság) partnerships may also be considered on application.
Do I need to translate my Hungarian company documents?
Hungarian company documents — including your Cégkivonat from the Cégbíróság and other registration documents — are accepted as-is for most standard applications. If a certified translation is required for any specific document, the compliance team will contact you during the review. You will not be asked to notarise or apostille documents upfront.
Can I hold HUF, EUR and GBP all in the same account?
Yes. The account supports GBP, HUF, and EUR simultaneously. You can receive GBP from UK clients into your UK account, hold HUF for Hungarian domestic operations, and use EUR for SEPA payments to EU counterparties — all from a single online account. Many Hungarian companies invoice UK clients in GBP or EUR, particularly in automotive supply chains and IT services, and this account is built to handle exactly that workflow.
Is the account FCA regulated?
Payment services are provided by Gemba Finance Limited, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (FRN: 804853). ARIDANG acts as an introducer to Gemba Finance Limited.
How long does it take to open the account?
With a complete application, typically same day to 24 hours. The entire process is online — no appointments, no in-person visits, no notarisation or apostille required. Identity verification is done digitally via a liveness check on your phone or computer.
