I suspect this is in the context of receiving payments, but there's also the 
issue of how to make payments internationally. I use and recommend XE 
Trade,http://www.xe.com/fx/  - it is inexpensive, convenient and provides a 
good degree of control. I noticed that SPI uses it for international payments 
too.


we received a detailed list of requirements for international activities 
and payments from the tax authorities that we need to work through. Then 
we can check whether services like XE Trade are compliant with that or 
not - I have no experience on this.

I suspect this is in the context of receiving payments, but there's also the 
issue of how to make payments internationally. I use and recommend XE Trade, 
http://www.xe.com/fx/ - it is inexpensive, convenient and provides a good 
degree of control. I noticed that SPI uses it for international payments too.

[board-discuss] payment service

2012-03-24 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,

JFYI: as discussed during one of the previous calls, I just contacted a 
payment service (ePayment) for a quote.


Several people asked for a possibility to pay without PayPal, and the 
corporation I've contacted does offer that, i.e. direct payment via 
credit card and bank account.


I know it is used by the FSFE folks as well, and they seem to be quite 
happy.


I'll let you know when I have an offer. I'll also ping the Wikipedia 
folks for insight how they do it.
