About this institution

Licence confirmed against the Magyar Nemzeti Bank register. Barion Payment Zrt. holds a current Hungarian e-money licence authorising issuance of electronic money and safeguarding of customer funds. The entity operates under reference 25353192, granted in September 2013. Both activities sit at the core of the e-money institutional model: the right to issue e-money instruments to end users, and the corresponding obligation to hold customer funds in segregated accounts.

The licence is passported across 16 EEA host states. The register records active authorisation in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. This breadth reflects a cross-border posture established over the entity's operational history and maintained in the current regulatory record.

As recorded in the Magyar Nemzeti Bank register, Barion Payment Zrt. maintains active operational status. The entity's authorisation continues under licence reference 25353192. The register does not record a licence-granted date in the form typically published for more recent authorisations, though the September 2013 date confirms establishment well before current EMI frameworks took effect. No data gaps affect the scope or host-state reach recorded here.
