Report for Mbhbank.hu

Report Date
September 30, 2025
Recommendation
Caution
Overall Summary
Suspicious
  Why we think so? 

mbhbank.hu appears to be the official site of MBH Bank (MBH Bank Nyrt.), a Hungarian bank with many physical branches and active local listings. Technical signals (valid SSL, CDN/services, and heavy site traffic) and contact details on the site point to a legitimate, established organization. However, multiple recent news reports and consumer alerts describe phishing campaigns that impersonated the bank and caused customer losses; the bank and Hungarian authorities have responded and the bank agreed to limited compensation for victims. Overall: legitimate but with active fraud risks targeting customers — exercise caution and verify communications directly with the bank.

Category Scores

Red Flags & Warnings

  • Multiple news and consumer-alert sources document phishing scams impersonating MBH Bank and customers losing funds.
  • Regulatory fine by Hungary’s central bank for compliance and fraud-management shortcomings.
  • WHOIS metadata in the retrieved snapshot is sparse (missing registrar/expiry), which reduces transparency for quick checks.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Identity — corporate presence & contact data

Score: 78/100
Passed

"MBH Bank appears in many official PDFs and on Google Places with the same website and phone number, which supports a verifiable corporate identity."

Reason: Consistent corporate emails, investor relations documents, and many Google Places branch listings match the domain and brand.

Reputation — news, complaints, regulatory history

Score: 66/100
Failed

"News sources report phishing attacks that impersonated MBH Bank and a past fine from the Hungarian central bank for compliance gaps; this lowers reputation score relative to a flawless record."

Reason: Mixed: legitimate bank with regulatory fines and recent phishing victim reports affecting customers.

Technical — SSL, hosting, WHOIS, tech stack

Score: 80/100
Passed

"SSL issued by e‑Szigno is valid; infrastructure uses Akamai/CloudFlare and common analytics, which is typical for large sites. WHOIS metadata in the scrape lacked registrar/expiry, a transparency gap to note."

Reason: Valid SSL certificate and enterprise CDN/analytics usage; DNS/A records present though WHOIS fields were incomplete in the snapshot.

Content — contact pages, transparency, legal notices

Score: 75/100
Passed

"The site hosts investor materials, privacy and whistleblowing pages and PDFs that include contact details and legal notices, which is consistent with a regulated financial institution."

Reason: Site contains corporate PDFs, privacy/whistleblowing docs and many contact points, indicating attention to disclosure.

Threat listings — Google Safe Browsing & crypto blacklists

Score: 85/100
Passed

"Fetched threat-checks show no active detection for the domain, reducing the likelihood the site itself hosts malware or phishing content."

Reason: No matched threats from Google Safe Browsing and not listed on crypto scam blacklists.

Traffic & popularity — active user base

Score: 82/100
Passed

"SimilarTech reports ~1.8 million monthly visits and Hungary as the leading country, a sign of substantial legitimate usage rather than a throwaway scam landing page."

Reason: High estimated monthly traffic (~1.8M) and concentrated traffic from Hungary support a real, active service.

Your Next Steps

  • 1

    If you received an unexpected message or link claiming to be MBH Bank, do not click it; contact the bank using the phone number on its official site or a Google Places listing (+36 80 350 350).

  • 2

    Report suspected phishing to MBH Bank and to local authorities (Hungarian consumer protection / police).

  • 3

    If you lost money after responding to a scam, check whether you qualify for the bank’s announced compensation and retain all transaction and message evidence.

  • 4

    Verify any financial instruction by calling the bank’s official customer service number (found on the website and Google Places) before transferring funds.

  • 5

    Enable two-factor authentication and review recent account activity; consider a fraud alert with your bank if you suspect compromise.
