Passing on a suggestion sent to the board. Has anyone heard of this or have any opinion on whether it would be a useful addition to our fundraising page?

Wikipedia is using Paypal for fundraising. May I suggest that www.sozialbank.de has a very convenient system for fundraising and probably would accept Wikipedia foundation as a customer? Sozialbank is a bank especially for non-profit institutions and would be much better suited for a convincing foundraise of a non-profit.
At least for european customers they should be able to offer a web interface where money transfer is possible immediately.

It's already the case, trhough the German association.

I looked at the demo and did not exactly understand how this works. It does seem fairly easy to install. But I'd love to know if it's really working for Europeans as a whole. For having worked with the Sozialbank online banking system, I can tell that the international side of it is seriously lacking.
Can someone speaking better German than I try and axplain the principle behind the tool, its limitations and advantages?

My suggestion is to verify at first if this society can work outside the German territory because also in Italy there is a very powerful system of payement but it is valid on in Italy and only for Italian societies.
