A little tip to affiliate programs
 

Wire transfers in Euro within EU have very small or no fees at all. All you need is the BIC and IBAN to perform the transfer. Why not get an European bank account and use it for disbursement of funds to affiliates. Wires with ?50 in minimum payout and ?1 fee should be possible. :2 cents:

And while we are dreaming, I would like a pony and 100 friends.. :-)

No, you are right. It is a really good idea. It would make things so much easier and cheaper for all of us in euroland..

good idea...

great idea for us europs

Now if the banks just saw it as you do...


Why dont you open a bank account in the US????


Oh, because they make you jump through hoops to get one.

Although, I will look into it for us, I dont think it will be as easy as you think.

EU transfers cost over €1 for me atleast...

I'm pretty sure it's easier for Americans to get a bank account within EU, than vice versa. No Patriot Act here. :)

Nordea charges nothing for an Internet wire in Euro or SEK within EU or to Norway and Iceland. They are not allowed to charge more for an EU payment than they do for the same transaction within the country.

I think all you have to do to get one in europe is to send in some documentation. To get an account in the US is a real hassle these days. Besides, it would be a great thing to offer european affiliates. Sure epassporte covers alot, but for how long, and it sucks for large transactions.

We can do that four our affiliates on case per case basis
If you like our program and reach the minimum for wire of 500$
Shouldnt be a problem to send you the equivalent in euros
