Oh it's much worse than that. They only accept member fees paid by SEPA transfers. As in Single Euro Payment Area. Don't live in a country that uses the Euro

Oh it's much worse than that. They only accept member fees paid by SEPA transfers. As in Single Euro Payment Area. Don't live in a country that uses the Euro or is part of the EU? Your money isn't welcome here.
What a dumb policy.
- m0nhawk 2y agoThis is just wrong: they support both SEPA and international bank transfers through IBAN.
- manuel_w 2y agoIsn't IBAN just the account identifier SEPA uses? (The other identifier necessary to make SEPA transfers being the BIC = bank id.)
- arianvanp 2y agoYou can make SWIFT transactions to IBAN numbers. no problem whatsoever.
- jwildeboer 2y agoFor donations they also offer liberapay so you can use stripe and PayPal. For membership fees you can also use direct bank transfer.
- hedwall 2y agoIBAN is the international bank number.
- jwildeboer 2y ago(no, that’s the BIC (Bank Identifier Code AKA SWIFT). IBAN is the International Bank Account Number.
- p_l 2y agoSEPA is essentially just a specific subset service set of a SWIFT international bank transfer. Or in other words, the interface of SEPA is a subset of parameters in SWIFT transfer. And it mandated IBAN numbers on stragglers in EU.
- anonzzzies 2y ago> What a dumb policy. It would be, if it were true.
- gruez 2y agoJust use a service like Wise?
- rty32 2y agoYes, sign up for a service I would never use otherwise to send money is a very convincing and straightforward way to support this project.
- p_l 2y agoThey support SEPA Direct Debit or a manual bank transfers over SWIFT. The latter works everywhere you can make a normal international bank transfer. It's just manual, while SEPA Direct Debit is automatic payment.
