About 19% of Hungarians made the switch to digital billing while the country went into temporary lockdown in the spring to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, a survey commissioned by electronic billing service provider Díjnet shows.
About 28% of Hungarians say they would prefer to pay their bills electronically, according to the representative survey of people between the ages of 20 and 69. Even so, 55% of respondents continue to use paper postal cheques to pay their bills. Díjnet noted that e-bills account for about 69% of mobile telecommunication service providers’ billing, while three-quarters of Hungarians still pay their water bills using postal cheques. Díjnet, a unit of state-owned postal company Magyar Posta, has more than 767,000 registered users.
