have decided that everyone will have to get a credit card to be able to
participate wikimania. A few years back this would indeed have stopped me
from participating in Wikimania. Paypal was already a huge step for me to

This seems very comlicated at all.
Apart from this year I would very strong support the idea of Aude: In the
future, we probably want a registration system (like the scholarship app)
that reuses more of the fundraising infrastructure (e.g. Global Collect)
and so that each year's team doesn't have

Hi Bence,
this may differ from country to country.
In Germany I can put money on my PayPal account via credit card, wire
transfer, or direct debit/withdrawal. That's why PayPal is (I know, in
Germany) quite comfortable to use.

At least PayPal supports more bank card organizations. Not to say
other methods like asking someone else to transfer me some money,
which is obviously easier to ask someone else to provide me with their
credit card info.

Can confirm - in the UK one can link their bank account directly to Paypal.
The advantages and disadvantages of doing so are probably obvious.

Hi Bence,
Hi Martijn,
Yes, it is the only payment option. I appreciate that there are effective
and commonly used bank transfer systems in some European countries, but our
administrative capacity and the booking website meant we had to settle on
one method of payment.
We did consider all options and
If there is any way to include a Paypal option, I think it would be very

by credit card. Are more payment options planned and/or considered?
