User level: Level 1 (4 points)I would like to ask why Apple hasn't introduced Apple Cash and Apple Card to Hungary yet, allowing people here to apply for either or both of these services. I truly believe that there is a huge demand for them, and many users in Hungary would love to have access to these features.

No one here in this user-to-user forum would know the answer to that. What I can tell you is that enabling Apple Pay in a given country or region requires dealing with banks and banking regulations. That can be...challenging.
You can let Apple know it's important to you here:

Apple Cash is managed in the US where it is available, by a bank, Green Dot Bank, not Apple directly, as such it can be assumed they would need a similar arrangment in Hungary with a partner bank there. Perhaps no bank there has chosen to manage Apple Cash for Apple there in the way Apple requires it be managed.
We cannot be certain why Apple has not made it available, but one can assume it's not for lack of wanting, but more likely for local regualtions and other hindrances in the country that prevent it.
FYI, Apple Cash is not yet available anywhere outside of the US, so Hungary is not alone in this.

You would think, wouldn't you, that by 1 pm, I would have had enough coffee to notice the difference between a post about Apple Pay and one about Apple Cash. You would be wrong. ;-)
