Conversion of fees

CEU fees are determinded in EUR, in HUF (Hungarian Forint), and in some cases in USD. Thus, CEU accepts payments only in EUR, USD or HUF. If the payable fee is determined, e.g., in EUR, but you want to pay, e.g., in USD, the EUR amount will be/have to be converted into USD (and so on). For wire transfers, payments by check, or on-line, you can find the daily exchange rates on the "Noticeboard for CEU". Find the information sent daily by Edina Mandoki. The subject starts with "Currency rates MNB" and continuing with the relevant date. Always use the most current exchange rate!
