Payment methods

If you want to pay by credit card you can use MasterCard, VISA, Maestro, American Express or JCB. You will pay in GBP, through WorldPay. This is our preferred method. Paying in different currencies is always more expensive, both for you and for us.
If you live in the UK or have a bank account there:
- We recommend you to pay by bank transfer to our UK HSBC account. Bank details will be displayed on your invoice.
- Alternatively you can still use a cheque in GBP for the time being. It should be payable to the Foundation for Endangered Languages. Please follow the instructions on your invoice. This method is less preferred as it generates a lot of extra administrative work at our end.
If you live elsewhere in the EEA (European Economic Area, i.e. EU and Associated countries), or have a bank account there, we strongly recommend that you pay by SEPA Bank Transfer. This is by far the cheapest method as in most EEA countries there are no or low bank charges for private transactions. You have to make your payment in euros. Your invoice will be in GBP, but the corresponding amount in euros will also be shown on your invoice. Bank details will be displayed on your invoice.
If you live outside the UK or EEA and don't have or don't want to use a credit card:
- We have positive experiences with alternative methods, such as Wise (formerly known as TransferWise), which can be used to transfer amounts directly from your into our account from most countries. It is fast, cheap and reliable. The website is https://wise.com
- You can make an international bank transfer in GBP, using the 'our cost' option, i.e. you pay all the costs of the transaction. This method is not recommended as bank charges for international transfers tend to be outrageous. Bank details will be displayed on your invoice.
