DEBT SETTLEMENT IN PERSON

You can settle your financial debt in the easiest way locally, during opening hours, exclusively in the library where the financial debt was incurred. In addition to cash, bank card payment is also available in certain libraries.

DEBT SETTLEMENT BY ONLINE BANK CARD PAYMENT 

As of May 23, 2025, online bank card payment is available through the ELTE Library WebApp on both desktop computers and mobile devices. 

Thanks to this development, outstanding debts to ELTE Libraries can be settled instantly from anywhere. For students, the education system is immediately notified of the payment, ensuring that any restrictions due to library debts are promptly lifted in the Neptun System.
