According to the company managers, the Hungarian economy may be cash-free in the foreseeable future
In Hungary, everyday finances have traditionally been cash-centric, with a number of previous researches showing that we prefer to pay in cash rather than electronically, and many prefer to keep their savings in physical currency. The research of the debt management company Intrum, at the beginning of last year also revealed that more than half of Hungarians pay in cash on a daily basis, which is 15 percentage points higher than the European average. In contrast, only one in five Hungarians paid with a credit card on a daily basis, and credit cards were even less popular at the time of the research.
