  • However, in rare cases, the transaction costs can be a bit higher due to the type of payment method used. For example, if the payment was made in a different currency or with a non-EU or business credit card, the type of credit card can increase the costs.
  • To continue to offer the WhyDonate platform for free, the donor is asked for a voluntary tip.
  • You can also remove a tip option from the donation form if you prefer not to show it to the donor.


Limited time promotion: Until October 2025, you only pay a fixed fee of €0.35 in payment processing costs for iDEAL and Bancontact.
