USD to HUF Converter.

Current rate

1 USD = 376.5 HUF as of 2026-05-17. A niche pair for Hungarian diaspora in US/Canada (~1.5M Hungarian-Americans), Hungary-related business (especially automotive — major OEMs Audi, BMW, Mercedes have Hungarian plants), and Budapest tourism. HUF has been the weakest Central European currency over 5 years, depreciating ~28% against USD due to MNB's late response to inflation (peak 25%+) and Hungary's ongoing fiscal tensions with the EU over rule-of-law disputes affecting recovery fund disbursements.

💡 About this corridor

Why people convert USD to HUF.

The USD/HUF corridor is driven mostly by global reserve currency and remittances from US-based workers. On the Hungarian Forint side, demand comes from EU manufacturing, tourism (Budapest), and agricultural trade. Because both sides see steady two-way flow, USD/HUF is one of the more liquid pairs in this region — which usually means tighter spreads and smaller markups than thinly-traded exotic pairs.

Over the past 12 months the US Dollar has moved up 3.2% against the Hungarian Forint, and over five years it has strengthened about 27.6% (from 295 to 376.5). If you're sending money on this corridor, that trend matters: a rising rate means timing your transfer — or locking a rate with a forward contract for large amounts — can change the Hungarian Forint you receive by a meaningful margin.

Getting the best USD → HUF rate. The figure above is the mid-market rate — the "true" rate banks and brokers reference. Most banks add a 1–3% margin on top and may charge a flat wire fee. Specialist services (Wise, Remitly, and regional exchange houses on this corridor) typically convert closer to mid-market. Always compare the effective rate after all fees, not just the headline rate — on a large USD transfer, a 2% difference is real money.

❓ FAQ

USD to HUF FAQ.

Why has HUF underperformed PLN and CZK?
Three structural issues: (1) MNB cut rates aggressively in 2020-2021 (rate to 0.6%) while PLN and CZK central banks moved earlier, leaving Hungary behind in fighting inflation, (2) Hungary's ongoing rule-of-law disputes with the EU froze ~€21 billion in recovery fund disbursements through most of 2023-2025, weakening fiscal position, (3) PM Orbán's pro-Russia rhetoric during the Ukraine war created investor skepticism. HUF weakness reflects all three. As of 2026, partial fund unfreezing has stabilized HUF but the structural discount versus peers remains.
USD to HUF for Hungarian-American diaspora?
For small remittances (under $2,000): Wise, Remitly, and Western Union dominate the US-Hungary corridor with delivery to OTP Bank, K&H, or Erste Hungary in minutes. For larger amounts: direct bank wire from Bank of America, Chase, or Wells Fargo to a Hungarian bank, typically 1-2% effective spread plus fixed wire fees. The US-Hungary corridor is smaller than US-Poland but well-served by Wise multi-currency accounts which handle HUF natively.
Hungary US tourism — when to convert?
For US tourists planning Hungary trips: HUF has been weakening structurally against USD, so deferring conversion is generally favorable for the dollar holder. Use ATM withdrawals from a Wise/Revolut/Charles Schwab no-forex-fee card during your trip rather than pre-converting cash. OTP Bank, K&H, and Erste Hungary ATMs charge HUF 600-1000 per withdrawal (~$2-3) which is competitive vs spread-based cash exchanges. Avoid airport money changers — typical 5-7% spreads.
