[Foundation-l] Wikimedia financials - bank fees

[Federico Leva (Nemo)]

It would also be interesting to understand why everyone (for 
reimbursements, grants, scholarships etc.) is required to send and 
receive money to/from the USA bank or PayPal accounts although there is 
an EU bank account and bank transfers within EU are mostly free, while 
PayPal has very high fees and is not even usable everywhere and bank 
transfers to USA can cost hundreds of dollars (not to mention currency 
conversion headaches).
