'Central Fraud Detection System' Rolled Out by National Bank of Hungary

• 1 Jul 2025 4:37 PM

The National Bank of Hungary (NBH) on Tuesday announced the launch of the first phase of a central fraud detection system.

The Central Fraud Detection System (KVR) uses artificial intelligence to flag suspicious transactions in a fraction of a second. Banks are required to provide data on their clients' instant payments to the system.

The system is part of measures announced by central bank governor Mihaly Varga in June to crack down on cybercrime.
