Of course I like these -options because it means I get more money, but it is equally important who does -*not* get a cut when we avoid unnecessary fees. - -In practical terms, that means that I prefer bank transfers. Nowadays many -banks have web-pages and apps, that make it nearly as simple to transfer money -as the offerings of platforms that focus solely on money transfer. So even -if you avoided using them in the past, it might be worth giving them another -chance. - -**Update**, since I am gaining many new supporters right now.

Can I stick to that? - -Of course I welcome all donations! Since most developers only accept donations -through one of the popular donation platforms, it makes sense to stick to that -for all your donations. It is certainly better to make donations using an -expensive offering, than it is to make no donations at all because doing so -would be too time consuming. - -Currently only a tiny fractions of the donations that I receive are done using -bank transfers, so don't feel bad if you don't do that either.

Just ask me for one in an email.~~ Sadly, it depends. Apparently -EU countries now require that VAT is being payed even for small earnings for -digital services. In each country individually, using the country-specific -platform and rules. I cannot afford a lawyer to be certain about these things, -and I likely would have to invest hours per country to figure out how to give -them money. If I have to spend all that time to pay taxes for $100, then that -sadly is not worth the effort and legal uncertainty. - -Of course if you intend to pay considerably more, then that is well worth the -effort. If not, then consider whether you can make a donation instead of a -payment. If you cannot do that but would have payed otherwise, then please -give me a heads up. If the lose of donations is considerable enough because -of this, then it might be worth finding another solution. - -By the way, while your employer may not have a budget for donations to free -software, they might have one to **buy** any software or support. I would be -happy to send them such a bill. But of course the above caveat applies in that -case too. - # Bank transfers +Bank transfers have the advantage that there are *no fees* (in Europe) or +*smaller fees* compared to payment processors (in the USA). + - Use [ACH](/donate/ach.html) direct deposit if you have an US bank account. + - Use [IBAN](/donate/iban.html) if you have a European account.
