Secondary account identifier

- Tax number (Hungarian or foreign)

What happens if I have two bank accounts and set up the same secondary account identifier for both?
A secondary identifier, e.g. an email address, can only be linked to one bank account, so the previously set up secondary account identifier will be automatically deleted.

What happens when a secondary account identifier expires?

Request to pay
What is the request to pay service?
The introduction of the Instant Payment System allows customers to send a payment request message to another party via electronic
banking channels, asking them to transfer a specific amount of money. Thanks to this new service, the transaction can be approved
or rejected within 60 days of receipt of the payment request, with the original amount or an amount changed with the consent
of the beneficiary, and with a reference.
The service can provide a solution, for example, in the payment of utility bills, or in the payment of rent or any other service
fees. The payment request makes it easier and more convenient to pay for your group of friends’ restaurant expenses; there
is no need to count cash among yourselves, it is enough for someone to pay the bill and then send payment requests to the
others for their share.
Who can use this service and where is it available?

Can the payment request be submitted using the secondary account identifier assigned to the paying party's account instead
of the paying party's name and account number?
Yes, the secondary account identifier of the paying party can be used when sending a payment request.
What are the costs of receiving and sending payment requests?
How long is a payment request valid?
The expiry date of a payment request is determined by the person initiating/sending the request, but may not exceed 2 months after the submission of the payment request. The Paying Party may approve the instant payment order contained in the payment request within the validity period of the payment request.
Can a payment request that has already been sent be recalled?
The Beneficiary may recall the payment request before its validity period expires or before it is accepted/rejected by the Paying Party, which means that after the recall, the Paying Party cannot approve the instant payment order whose details were included in the recalled payment request.
What can I do if a payment request is sent to my account?
The payer party can accept, reject, or ignore the request, or modify the amount and reference specified in the request (if the Beneficiary has indicated in the request that the amount and reference can be modified). If accepted, the request is fulfilled as an instant payment, i.e. the requested amount is credited to the payment account of the party initiating the payment request within five seconds.
What happens if I do not initiate an instant payment for the payment request received?
If the received payment request is not approved or rejected, it will automatically expire after the validity period, after which you will no longer be able to initiate an instant payment based on the request. The status of the payment request will expire for the party sending the payment request.

The Bank also informs customers about incoming or sent payment requests via electronic channels in mailbox or push messages.
If the customer has provided the Bank with an email address in connection with the payment request service or cash flow service, the information will also be sent by email. The Bank provides this information free of charge. The customer cannot unsubscribe from this information.
qvik / Single Data Entry Solution (EAM)
What is the Single Data Entry Solution (EAM)?
This is a new payment solution. The Single Data Entry Solution (EAM) enables the simple and automated submission of instant payments transfers orders using QR codes, NFC or deeplinks. The aim of the new service is to enable the paying party to settle retail purchases and bill payments, for example, by instant payment.
If the payment service based on EAM is available at the beneficiary (e.g., merchant, service provider), the payment can be made using a QR code, NFC signal, or deeplink in the following payment situations:
A QR code will appear on the cash register or POS device monitor in the store, which you can scan with your mobile phone to pay for the product or service you wish to purchase. The same option will be available not only in physical spaces, but also in online stores, for example.
In the case of EAM, there is no need to fill in the beneficiary's details and transaction data, as those are automatically filled in when the NFC tag, QR code or when the deeplink is scanned.
Since when has the Single Data Entry Solution, i.e. the qvik-QR, qvik-NFC, qvik link payment solution (qvik EAM), been available?
Date of launch of the service: 1 September 2024.
What is qvik?
Qvik is the official brand name for instant payment initiated via payment requests or Single Data Entry Solution
We distinguish between the following variants:
- qvik-QR –> QR code payment
- qvik-NFC –> Contactless payment
- qvik-link –> Deeplink payment
- qvik-kérelem –> Payment request-based payment
The qvik-QR, qvik-NFC, and qvik-link are therefore part of a single data entry solution.
You can recognise the qvik acceptance points as all merchants, service providers, web shops, and invoice issuers are required to display the qvik logo if they offer such acceptance.
Why choose qvik as your payment method?
- On the paying party's side, there are no fees for instant payment orders initiated with EAM and payment requests, exclusively for natural persons. Corporate customers must pay the fees listed in the published terms and conditions.
- Secure - GIRO Zrt. operates the payment ecosystem, which includes certificate management for security code verification, domain registration of applications, and the generation and verification of messages in a closed system.
- It is convenient to use and does not require downloading a new application.
How does the payment process work with qvik?
qvik-QR
- In this case, there is a paper-based or digital QR code that the paying party must scan. This can be done with a QR code reader built into the bank's mobile payment app, or by scanning the QR code with the factory camera of a smartphone or tablet.
- After scanning the QR code, the Bank App's transfer interface opens with all the necessary transaction data.
- If you find this acceptable, the transfer will be completed within a few seconds after approval.
- The paying party will receive a confirmation message about the completion of the transfer and can verify the success of the purchase in their account history.
qvik-NFC
- As the paying party, you touch your mobile phone or tablet to a merchant device capable of transmitting NFC signals after activating NFC in advance.
- The Bank App will then automatically display a transfer interface with all the necessary transaction details.
- If you find this acceptable, the transfer will be completed within a few seconds after approval.
- Az átutalás teljesüléséről a fizető fél visszaigazoló üzenetet kap, valamint a számlatörténetében győződhet meg annak sikerességéről.
qvik-link
- The Bank App transfer interface will appear for the customer, displaying all payment details.
- If you find this acceptable, the transfer will be completed within a few seconds after approval.
- The paying party will receive a confirmation message about the completion of the transfer and can verify its success in their account history.
How can I access qvik payments initiated with the Single Data Entry Solution (EAM)?
The qvik payment option is available with mobile banking applications.
MBH Bank supports all three single data entry solutions (qvik QR, qvik NFC, qvik - link) on portable multifunctional devices (smartphones, tablets) used by customers, as follows:
The banking mobile app can be downloaded to portable multifunctional devices running the iOS operating system from the App Store or to Android devices from Google Play (not available on other operating systems).
Details:
| E-channel | Customers concerned | qvik EAM payment availability |
| MBH Bank App | Retail | Yes |
| MBH Bank App (previously Takarék) | Retail and Corporate | Yes |
| MBH Vállalati App | Corporate | Yes |
| MBH Bank App (previously MKB) | Retail and Corporate | No |
What is the difference between scanning qvik EAM within the app and outside the app?
OUT APP scanning
EAM payment is initiated by scanning a QR code directly with the phone's built-in camera, clicking on a deeplink, or receiving an NFC signal. Scanning the EAM automatically opens the banking app installed on the phone, which processes the scanned data. Therefore, EAM scanning is initiated before the Bank App is launched.
IN APP scanning
Within the mobile application, the user can start scanning by selecting one of the QR/NFC/deeplink-based scanning methods.
Therefore, the EAM scanning process is initiated after launching the Bank App from the appropriate menu item.
After the scanning process is complete, both processes initiated from both directions go through the same validation and transaction
steps, with no difference between the processes.
What happens if I have multiple banking apps installed?
Which one reads the qvik instant payment order initiated with EAM in the case of an OUT APP process?
It depends on the operating system of the mobile device, its version, the phone settings, and the settings of the banking apps:
- IOS: in newer operating system versions, it offers a choice from a list of available applications (until one is selected as the default).
- Android: difficult to determine. It depends on the version of the mobile device's operating system, the phone settings, and the banking app settings.
What should I do if my preferred banking app does not open?
If you find it difficult to make qvik payments with your preferred app, we recommend that you use the in app scanning option. This means that you first log into the selected mobile app and then scan the data using the built-in QR code, NFC, or deeplink scanner. In the MBH Bank App, this option is available by clicking on the icon in the upper right corner of EAM history.
What are the first steps?
For users with one account
Even users with one payment account need to set up the payment account designated for qvik payments. The user sets up their
own payment accounts for which they have right of disposal (data recorder, sole/joint signatory).
This means that the same payment account can be set up in different ways, depending on who the user is.
For users with multiple accounts (including multiple customer accounts) (including data recorders)
In the Menu / Settings / EAM payment menu, by selecting the account or accounts for your convenience, you can set which accounts
you will be able to choose from for instant payment orders using the qvik payment solution (QR code, NFC, deeplink-based unified
data entry solution) by scanning outside the application.
Based on the above, if you scan the data of the qvik payment order with the camera of your portable multifunctional device
(e.g., smartphone, tablet), the NFC technology, or by tapping on deeplink (i.e., not through the MBH Bank App), you can choose
from the selected accounts which account you would like the instant payment order to be executed from after scanning. If more
than one account is selected, you will be able to choose from the pre-selected accounts for the instant payment order to be
executed each time you scan outside the app.
How much time do I have to scan the EAM?
The validity period is determined by the beneficiary, which is at least 120 seconds, but there may be QR codes or deeplinks that are valid for several months. During the validity period, the paying party can successfully initiate the instant payment order. An EAM can be scanned any number of times, but only one successful payment can be made with it.
What should I do after scanning the EAM?
The user has 3 options for a scanned EAM:
- rejection
- approval
- deferred processing (including process interruption)
Scanned EAMs are automatically saved. If the EAM has not yet been rejected or approved, it can be approved later via the EAM history menu item until the end of the EAM's validity period.
If the user exits the application during the process/payment, before approval, the EAM operation will be automatically placed in a deferred lifecycle
Only qvik instant payment orders can be created from approved transactions initiated with EAM.
What is EAM history?
EAMs that have already been scanned can be found in this menu item.
These can be active EAMs that require intervention or inactive EAMs.
An active EAM is one that has not yet been approved or rejected, and whose validity period has not yet expired.
Only active deferred EAMs can be processed, which can be done in the detailed view:
- aprove
- reject
