Almost one-fifth of Hungarians switch to e-billing because of pandemic

Fully 19 percent 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 Dijnet shows. About 28 percent 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 percent of respondents continue to use paper postal cheques to pay their bills.
