We also need to try to find out how to get a European bank account so that method of payment can be done.
Due to me having lived in various EU countries during the past few years, I am a customer with an Irish, a British and a German bank, all of whom offer online banking as part of the package. I also regularly do these newfangled ''EU transactions'', ie. IBAN+BIC transactions, which per EU law must not cost more than national transactions inside the bank's country, so they'd be a boon in terms of accepting donations from inside the EU, especially as eg. Germans commonly don't have credit cards (for some weird reason they're regarded as snobbish and elitist in Germany).
Should I make preliminary enquiries and ask them what's required/what's on offer? Presumably you want a current account in the name of not an individual person but rather the foundation (if that's possible)?
