The loan is financed from the EU Structural and Investment Funds and distributed through commercial banks. The Hungarian Investment Bank (MFB) created a country-wide network from commercial bank branches where people could apply for the loan. The Central Hungary region ran out of money quite soon, however the application procedure was reopened in February 2021. The loans mainly financed renewables for family houses around Budapest.
