New payment method for donations 🐾
Published on March 9, 2026 by Babette

We’re happy to share that your backers can now also donate using WISE!Ā 
When selecting a payment method, WISE will appear as the fourth option. (see below)

This is a semi-automatic payment method. After clicking ā€œContributeā€, backers will receive instructions and can either:Ā 
  • Click a direct link to donate via WISE, or
  • Donate manually through WISE.

āš ļøA quick reminder: by default, donations will include an optional tip on top for Open Collective. This is not charged by us as the fiscal host but by the platform itself. Backers can remove this tip by clicking ā€œEditā€ and selecting ā€œI don’t want to contribute.ā€ (see below)

About WISE: WISE is an online multi-currency bank based in Belgium.

Looking ahead: We also plan to add WERO as a payment option, but our bank is still rolling out support. This is expected to be available later in 2026.
