WIse is a cheap and fast way to send money around the world without hidden fees. You can use your credit/debit card, a bank account, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SOFORT and many other ways to pay with this service, which also has very low charges (for you and us) and gives excellent exchange rates. All you need to do is create an account, specify the amount you want to send to us in EUR, pick your own currency and then proceed. Depending on your home currency, you can then pay with your card, bank account, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SOFORT, etc. If you select this option, the next screen will provide instructions and a link to sign up to Wise.
If you have an account in the Eurozone, this is the easiest option. Simply transfer funds to Biosphere Expeditions, IBAN BE52 9670 2407 0009, SWIFT/BIC TRWIBEB1XXX. If your account is not inside the Eurozone, traditional banks often make mistakes and transfer the wrong amount. Many will also levy obscene charges at very bad exchange rates. We therefore recommend option 2 for those outside the Eurozone. If you still want to go down the bank to bank transfer route, then please make sure that all charges are to your account and that your bank sends the full amount outstanding in EUR, not your local currency.
Options 1 and 2 are our (much) preferred options, but you can also pay by card (as you can in option 2) directly. You will be redirected to our payment partner Stripe where you will provide your credit card data. Note that each credit card transaction will incur a fee, which varies widely (up to 4%) depending on the card, because it is so expensive for us to receive card payments.
