Compliance Notes
Hungary requires foreign income declaration with NAV (Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal). Bitwage screens all payments against OFAC and EU sanctions lists.
FX Considerations
The HUF is an EU currency but not in the eurozone and can be volatile. Bitwage locks the USD/HUF rate at execution time.
