Transferring funds (HUF/EUR)

Tuition fees and other possible fees related to your studies can be paid in the Neptune system. After enrollment, the student will automatically have access to the so-called joint account, which is a "virtual student bank account". Payments to the collective account can only be made via transfer through your bank account. You can top up your Neptun balance by transferring to ELTE's account, from which the system automatically deducts the amount in the second step - if there is adequate coverage - when a debt expires. You can keep any amount in your joint account during your studies. If you have funds accumulated in your Neptun account and you no longer need the amount left on your balance, you can initiate its return at any time by pressing a button. The funds you transferred to your joint account will arrive on your Neptune balance in 1-2 business days, so this option does not offer immediate payment!

General information regarding transferring funds

  • The time it takes to receive an international bank transfer, the expected transfer time may vary. It typically ranges from a few business days to up to a weekdepending on the banks and the countries involved. However, please keep in mind that some factors can influence the transfer time, including intermediary banks and the chosen transfer method. To get a more accurate estimate for your specific situation, it's advisable to check with your bank, as they can provide more precise information based on the details of your transfer.
  • it may take 1-2 business days to receive your payment in your Neptun account when transferred (HUF) from a Hungarian bank account.
  • If you have not paid your fees and are in debt to the University we may take some or all of the following actions unless and until the debt is cleared:
    • charge you a late payment administration fee (3500 HUF)
    • you will be unable to register for exams/next semester or receive an official diploma
  • Since the Automatic payment is turned on, this should not happen if you initiated the transfer calculating with the processing time and the money arrived to your joint account at least on the final day of the deadline.
  • However, if you did transfer to the account in time and you still have received late payment fee, please contact the Education Office.
  • You can check the status of your obligation by logging into your Neptun account and selecting the Finances/Payment menu. If it says "Fulfilled" you've paid your obligation. If the status still shows "Active" it means the payment is pending.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Transferring money to your Neptun account alone doesn't fulfill your payment obligations! You need to either manually or automatically fulfill them.
