My understanding is this is mostly a problem in the
US, from what I
heard from Garfield. I asked him because Wikimedia CH broadcast its IBAN
number everywhere for the fundraising, so I would have liked to know of
any potential problem, but there does not seem to be any in Europe.

Nothing prevents WMF from opening a bank account in Europe;
in fact given that most of the requests in this thread orig-

outside it would be very inconvient for many donors.
