Fundraising is on hold. Today you cannot create fundraising causes and the portal does not accept donations yet (it shows Coming soon). This page explains how the bank account will work when it opens.
Besides cards, a fundraising cause can have its own bank account to receive transfers. It is useful when someone wants to contribute a large amount, or when the donor is an organization that doesn’t pay by card.

​
Where it is

It lives on the cause itself, not in Configuration: each cause has its own. You find it in the Donations tab of the cause’s detail view, which only appears if the cause is a fundraising one and is approved. In that tab you first see Ways to donate (what you have active: card, transfer) and below it the Bank account block.
Detail view of an approved cause with the header, the Go live, Edit and More buttons, and the row of tabs Statistics, Overview, Petition, Updates, Comments and Signatures

The detail view of a cause in your dashboard, with its tabs. In a signature cause, like this one, there is no Donations tab; in an approved fundraising cause it appears at the end of the row.

​
The threshold

It is not granted from the start. A moderator sets an amount raised for your cause, from which you can ask for it. In the Bank account block you will see one of these three situations:
No amount has been set for this cause. There is nothing you can do on your side: if you need it, write to support explaining what for.
It shows how much you have and how much is needed, for example “€300 of €1,000 needed to request the bank account”. The request button only appears once you reach it.
The Request bank account button appears.

​
Requesting it

When you press Request bank account you are asked to confirm it’s you with whatever you have turned on in your account: a passkey or the two-step verification code. If you have both, both are asked for, one after the other. It is an operation involving money, so being signed in is not enough. After that the request stays in progress and a person reviews it.
If you don’t have any verification method turned on, you are not asked for anything. Setting one up is the first thing you should do with your account. How

​
The three outcomes

Once it is assigned, you see the Holder, the IBAN, the BIC and a Reference. Each detail has its own Copy button.
Whoever makes the transfer must put the reference in the payment description. Without it the deposit cannot be matched to your cause and has to be traced by hand.

​
What it is not

It is not your personal account and it does not replace card payments. It is an account assigned to this cause to channel transfers to it, with the same final destination as the rest of what is raised.
