<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
  <p>
    We accept payments via bank transfer (BACS or SWIFT), including
    internationally. We can also receive credit and debit card payments using
    Stripe. For folks in countries where “wire transfers” can be costly and
    complicated, we will need to add approx 2.9% on top of the invoice total to
    cover Stripe’s processing fees.
