In 2002, K&H Bank was the first to issue a microchip-based card in Hungary. This technology is much more secure than magnetic strip cards, since in addition to storing data, it allows for updates and can serve as personal identification. However, the most important news of the year was the introduction of a guaranteed money market fund, another first in Hungary. Subscription was successful, with the portfolio of the K&H Fix Plusz investment fund reaching over HUF 3.5 billion. K&H Fix Plusz 2, issued in February 2003, was received with similar enthusiasm. The roaring success of the two investment funds has made K&H Fund Manager the third largest fund manager on the market. Its business activities have been expanding year after year, and its profits are increasing dynamically.
