Remarks section "Direct deposit"

Hi, I have some remarks about the direct deposit section on User:DavidStrauss/Fundraising and I do not know of I may change it, and even so, because it is a complex system of templates I prefer not do do it.

Remarks;

• the payment option "money transfer" is the option that is best for users from the European Union. The can make inside the European Union a money transfer to any other EU-account for the same price as a national transfer. In practice that means it is free or the cost is extremely low. And the WMF gets 100% of the money, no fees. People from outside the EU are more likely I think to use paypal
• I suggest to present this payment option more explicit as for the EU-visitors. Maybe a EU-flag also?
• The way the account number is presented is confusing. It must be listed as '
  • IBAN BE43 0689 9999 9501 and
  • BIC GKCCBEBB

To save space the spaces can be safely removed form the account number like

• • IBAN BE43068999999501
  • BIC GKCCBEBB

But keep those to together, do not put hem in a other section, also not the prefix IBAN, that must be before the account number to make it clear what it is.

Now also the normal national Belgian account number form is included. Like it is now listed it can give confusing. If listed it must be in an other section. The normal national Belgian account number is useful for people from Belgium, the can also use the IBAN number actually, but it is more easy to have the Belgian number. And for people from countries who do not support the IBAN bank transfer system. Because those people will need to pay normal fees for international transfers I do not think there will be a lot of people doing that. The will use paypal. It could be removed. If not presented separated from the IBAN-account information.--Walter 00:35, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
