Hello all,

information for bank transfer is a bit incomplete, would be great if information is updated.

For ie. my ebank refused payment with just receiver and account info, I had to specify address, city, purpose. Finally got this info from aplication form

Oh, yes. Now as you remind us, I do remember vaguely about such totally nonsense info in the bank forms when transferring from/to other countries (even in EU or € zone). But it is only a few banks acting so (as they will never ever check that info)
So if you are the only one reporting, it looks like we did not receive much from outside countries via bank transfer? (or those used a bank who did not need that info?)

Either way, we still need some more .....
Thank you.

@peterleinchen, ALL banks in the UK require such ridiculous amount of detail. I once lost a good deal on an N9 someone was selling in this forum because he would not accept PayPal an my bank required all sorts of details down to the shoe size (bank name, bank address, but also the account owner's name and address, you name it). He was not prepared to share that level of details and sold the phone to someone else.

Same also with my Finnish (well, actually now Danish) bank: they do require the details indicated above.

Well join the EURO

My experience is limited to Spain, Austria, Netherlands and Germany. I've never had to give any address. The (recipient's) name is only used for cross checking in case somebody fvcks up.

I'm a big fan of IBAN because of this. But maybe I'm just lucky with my banks. Note that even now banks can still charge a fee for *receiving* a transfer. This is allowed, as long as they charge the same fee for in-land transfers. I've only experienced that with Spanish banks. No wonder they needed to be saved, the a**holes (and yes, I closed my account there as matter of principle).

Hopefully the EU will fix this someday (at least within the EU/EURO).

Oh, and just to add re. Paypal:

The other day I received a gift prepaid credit card, so I thought, heck, I'll join paypal and use that card to load up my account so I don't have to give them access to my real account.

No dice. Whatever you do paypal needs your bank account and your shoe size. This was the reason I quit after being signed up for a week or so in 2010 and then again a couple of weeks ago (this time my account lived for about 2 hours).

I hereby officially confirm that I will never use paypal. If a donation depends on it then I'm sorry.

I edited the first posting and added address that should be acceptable for all bank transfers.

Not sure how useful this would be, but as an alternative to Paypal and direct-bank transfers, I'm happy to help set up a donation micro-site for Maemo using Stripe as the payment processor - if that would help - I can just take my existing personal donation page [1] and adapt it for Maemo?

I just checked for Germany (I'm assuming that's where the Maemo back account is?) and Stripe charge 2.9% + 30c per transaction - not sure if that's acceptable or a show-stopper?

Of course this could just complicate things, so feel free to tell me so!
