The donation page is a little outdated.
direct bank transactions can now be made threwout the EU and more and more outside the EU as well, free of charges up to 50 K euros.
the current text sketches a difficult situation, where as thanks to the new iban system, its actually very easy to make direct money transfers.
More info on the system and a list of countries that use it here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number
the current text almost discourages direct money transfers, instead we should actually encourage it and include in the text a reference to IBAN with an IBAN bank acount number.
Infact Toms previous postbank bank acount now is an IBAN acount by default as its mandatory within the EU economic area.
The bank acount number should be put on the donation page, so anyone interested in donating can just copy paste the acount number and donate what ever they want.
To keep up administration, a note can be added with the transaction where the family name of the donator is stated so goodies can be given to the right player.
Amazing what people don't realize the EU system as a whole does for them individually, let alone on an economic level.
