Bank account in Germany
I propose to set up a bank account in Germany. Bank transfers are the usual method of payment here. This way donators can save transfer fees. On Wikipedia the usual amount donated is about 20-50 EUR, so fees of 15 Euro are prohibitive. Longbow4u 11:33, 29 August 2007 (BST)
- I second that, would be most convenient and quite likely to collect a few Euro at least...

Bank account transfers
Transfers in Euro
Is it possible to transfer Euro amounts to your UK bank account? It seems that at my bank all transfers to EU and EEA countries are free as long as they are in Euro currency. --Tessarakt2 19:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
The person sending the money, bank fee
your bank may make a charge of €15/$15 or more
On my bank it says 0.50 euro. I'm a lucky one I guess :) , or I might find the truth later on... Logictheo 20:39, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Paypal doesn't does work
Following the paypal donation links (Single donation) I get "This recipient is currently unable to receive money" and OSM gets nothing...
No Paypal donations works :( !
- This issue is now resolved, donations are working again. The problem was caused because PayPal needed to perform some additional verification checks on our account due to our status as a non-profit organisation. 80n 15:07, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Transparency
I'm happy to support OSM also with donations. But I would like to see better who is doing what in this project. This includes names of responsible individuals/companies and also the financial statements for the past and budgets for the future.
