Morning all, a "business" post today — I've updated my Patreon account to be in GBP rather than USD. Fees have been going up for international transactions meaning that I haven't been seeing as much of your kind donations as I should have been, and hopefully switching to GBP will fix that.
This shouldn't affect anything for any of you existing Patrons — please let me know if you encounter any issues — but if you're in the UK, switching your pledge to my new tiers will save us both conversion fees. I've simply switched my tiers from $1 and $5 to £1 and £5, so that does mean any of you wishing to switch currency will pay a tiny bit more for equivalent tiers (£1 is about $1.30 right now, £5 is $6.47), but that should be counterbalanced by the saving in currency conversion fees, which is 2.5%.
You don't have to change if you don't want to, but if you do it allows me to take home a bit more of your kind donations each month rather than losing it to fees.
To avoid any additional conversion fees for the both of us, I suggest that those of you in the UK change to your local currency. For those of you who would like to switch your currency you can 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.
Thanks for your understanding — I'll reiterate, you don't need to do anything, but if you wish to or are able to update your pledge to the new tiers that would be much appreciated!
