Payment methods
Which payment methods are available for donors
Donors can choose one of the following payment methods when making their donation:
- PayPal (worldwide)
- Credit Card*: Mastercard, VISA, AMEX (worldwide)
- SOFORT Überweisung (Europe)
- Manual SEPA-bank transfer (Europe)
- Giropay (Germany)
- EPS (Austria)
- iDEAL (Netherlands)
You can find an overview here.
Donations are credited as soon as the payment is received by us. For most payment methods this is almost immediate and the donation is immediately visible in the list of donations on the campaign page.
For a manual SEPA bank transfer, it generally takes a few days before the payment is received by us and visible in the list of donations.
For donations made with SOFORT, Giropay and Credit Card, there may be some time between a successful donation and its actual receipt by Spendenaktion. Although the donation is immediately credited to the list of donations, it can only be paid out once Spendenaktion has actually received the payment.
