In the first quarter of this year, Hungarian bank cardholders withdrew HUF 1.997 trillion from cash dispensers, which is 4.9% more than in 2019.

The number of 23.2 million cash withdrawal transactions was 6% below the base value.

The average amount per cash withdrawal transaction jumped by 11.7% in one year, by about HUF 9,000, and its value was HUF 85,898 on a quarterly basis.

This was largely because a few days after the introduction of the coronavirus-related lockdown, a lot of people withdrew cash from ATMs, vg.hu notes.
