Improvement in Payment Options for Patreon for European Backers
Added 2020-08-07 02:20:09 +0000 UTCHey, so;
Everyone in the UK, EU and U.S. can now pledge in their local currency of Euros (€), British Pounds (£) or U.S. Dollars ($).
The main benefit here is that now you shouldn't have to pay extra conversion fees from your bank or card when pledging in a currency that’s not your own.
If you want to switch to your local currency (assuming it's Euros or British Pounds), then follow these steps:
- On Patreon.com, hover over your avatar in the top right of your screen.
- Click Manage memberships.
- Find this page, and click Edit.
- Under Currency, choose your preferred currency.
- Click Update to save your settings.
For anyone not in these territories, you’ll still see your pledge in USD.
Check out this help center article if you have questions about changing your currency, or this article if you have questions about how tiers are priced in these new currencies.
