That would be $0.69 as good vs. $0.99 for F&F. Last time I checked it was $2.99 for F&F, they changed that recently? It might be the Paypal fees for F&F from USA to Canada. Julien

They no longer even support sending money as a "friend/family" via the link on the donate page on LDDB. I try to donate every year and I don't want paypal taking a 1/3rd of it. I noticed that Transferwise is on the Donate page. This would most likely be a payment method with less fees taken off vs going with paypal.
Julien, Is there a way to set up donations to you via Transferwise as I have an account with them already? Same

invenio wrote: I was able to get transferwise setup and donated to LDDB. The fees were significantly less than paypal so maybe that should be on the donations page with instructions? Yes, I had 2 successful payments so far with WISE. It is a viable option now! (and will cost less in FX conversion as well) Julien

A lot of people who live or send money to foreign countries use Wise so this may be a better option for donations for many. It really doesn't display very prominently in the donate page and still has the old "transferwise" labeling logo. They rebranded to WISE awhile back so no longer going by "transferwise". I think the donate page could use a little update,... even the paypal styling in the screenshots have not looked like that in probably over half a decade!
