This is just wrong: they support both SEPA and international bank transfers through IBAN.

Isn't IBAN just the account identifier SEPA uses?

(The other identifier necessary to make SEPA transfers being the BIC = bank id.)

You can make SWIFT transactions to IBAN numbers. no problem whatsoever.

For donations they also offer liberapay so you can use stripe and PayPal.

For membership fees you can also use direct bank transfer.

IBAN is the international bank number.

(no, that’s the BIC (Bank Identifier Code AKA SWIFT).

IBAN is the International Bank Account Number.

SEPA is essentially just a specific subset service set of a SWIFT international bank transfer. Or in other words, the interface of SEPA is a subset of parameters in SWIFT transfer. And it mandated IBAN numbers on stragglers in EU.

> What a dumb policy.

It would be, if it were true.

Just use a service like Wise?

Yes, sign up for a service I would never use otherwise to send money is a very convincing and straightforward way to support this project.

They support SEPA Direct Debit or a manual bank transfers over SWIFT.

The latter works everywhere you can make a normal international bank transfer. It's just manual, while SEPA Direct Debit is automatic payment.
