According to the report, excluding payments between financial institutions, 1.476 billion payment transactions took place in Hungary in 2019, which corresponds to 151.1 transactions per capita per year.

Hungary is slowly approaching the EU average but is still the country with the most modest data among its Visegrád Four peers (the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia).
