Our billing partners charge the following fees for pledges: Paypal $0.05 + 5%* per transaction Stripe $0.30 + 2.1%* per transaction Patreon also has a 5% fee to cover our operating costs* All pledges are converted to USD. Any pledge made in an alternative currency will be converted to the equivalent value of the USD amount. All fees conversion fees will be charged to the Patron *Note: We aggregate each Patron's pledges each month. If a Patron is supporting multiple creators, credit card fees will be split amongst all Creators being supported in an effort to minimize fees. Transferring funds from your Patreon account Our partners charge the following fees to transfer funds to your personal accounts: Direct Deposit (US only) $0.25 fee per transfer Payoneer (US & International) $3.00 fee per transfer PayPal USA 2% capped at $1.00 fee per transfer PayPal International 0.5% - 2% fee of amount transferred " (i'd not recommend sending $1 over such a system: for credit card transfer the overhead is $0.37 as far as i can see not counting the conversion costs when sending from outside the us and the patreon->dalias transaction (which hopefully will have amortized costs) and i would not recommend paypal for reliability reasons.. the micro payment problem is not solved yet)
