Unfortunately, that wasn’t it (also, I already was on “EUR”). The site says “Only for donations to SEPA countries”, so it appears to be really not possible to donate to the US based Haiku Inc. via bank transfer. @nipos, can you give a ballpark number on the fees per donation via credit card?
BTW, there’s another account at Liberapay called just “Haiku”, without the “.inc”, sporting the “official” Haiku 2D-H-icon. “Haiku.inc” - with the “unofficial” 3D-H-icon - appears to be a team-member of it. I guess donations to either reach Haiku Inc.? A bit confusing, something that should be avoided when it comes to transferring money… @kallisti5 et.al., any chance to remove one of those?
I don’t pay any fees for the credit card donations at all.
My credit card (American Express) only charges for transactions in other currencies,but the Liberapay payment is done directly in Euro.
Likely Haiku Inc. receives a bit less than I give,but that’s not something you have to worry about - there won’t be excessive fees charged from your account.
The fee that’s taken from the paid amount seems to usually be between 1.5 and 3.5%,so the biggest portion should arive at Haiku.

That is not an organization but a team. It was set up before Haiku inc joined Liberapay and allowed donations to be distributed directly to some developers who were accepting donations on Liberapay.
Now all the developers are not accepting such donations anymore and it all goes to the inc again, since it is the only member of that “team” accepting donations.
It seems I can’t delete it, but I have marked it as hidden from search results for now.
