Important Notes Regarding Fees:

  • Any fees the beneficiary (NPO) incurs due to its bank's individual policies / fee structures for receiving USD wires are not visible, managed, or tracked by YourCause. There is not an option for organizations to cover any fees associated with the NPO receiving a wire from YourCause or conducting international business. The NPO is responsible for any fees charged by their bank.

  • Any fees the donor incurs due to transacting in USD instead of their local currency are not visible, managed, or tracked by YourCause. We do not charge donors for currency conversions or conducting international business online. The donor is responsible for any fees charged by the donor's bank or credit card company. The platform updates the displayed currency conversion rate daily, and this rate is not guaranteed to match a currency exchange search performed externally.

Wire Minimums

Several countries have a wire minimum in place. If a client’s donations in a given processing cycle do not meet the minimum for an individual charity, the wire will not be sent and the related donation(s) will be put on manual hold by the Processing Analyst. As a manual process, there are no automated or systemic checks to hold or batch donations together based on the minimum.
