If you have a **European bank account**, then
[IBAN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number) is a
good option to transfer money to me.
If you have a European bank account, using that to make a [SWIFT] transaction to
either my EUR or CHF [IBAN] account, is the cheapest option. If you transfer
another currency, there will be a currency conversion fees, but other than that
there should be no fees.

# Bank transfers

I recomment transfering to either my EUR or CHF [IBAN](/donate/iban.html)

conversion fees.
