Does CCP have any plans to accept payments in other currencies? As an Australian, a yearly subscription for eve works out at about $300 By the time I pay exchange rates, credit card fees, international fee - it becomes expensive… ---

The US dollar is the de facto global currency. It represents about 65% of all known Central Bank transactions. The next closest is the Euro with about 20%. They have to standardize around something. ---

PayPal is a blessing. I use the bank transfer to transfer some money to my PayPal account and then I can buy stuff on the internet. PayPal is making conversions when I need it, Or for example on GOG you can pay with different currencies in the same payment. ---

> [@Shadowyfreak](#): > > I do not use pay pal and its too much effort to get my account verified by the bank… You dont need to have your account verified by the bank. You just need to connect it to your credit card, and it will bill your credit card automatically. Paypal does the conversion, so you shouldnt be charged any international fees. ---

As an Aussie I pay through pay pal. No card fee. No transaction fee. Only the subscription fee. Might be worth looking into how you can fix your issues instead of asking if CCP could make drastic changes to the way they operate to accommodate you. PS PayPal is 100% secure and quick to setup. Hell its safer than using your credit card. Also you live in Australia so PayPal bend over backwards to look after you ---

> [@Shadowyfreak](#): > > 40.00 card fee (annual) That one isn’t on CCP, and I’m assuming you use your credit card for things other than paying your sub fee, so it isn’t really applicable to include this in “how much you end up paying to subscribe to eve” % fees for currency exchange do indeed suck. As other people mentioned, use paypal. With this being eve, I’m surprised nobody has suggested that maybe you figure out how to increase your isk/hr and just pay in isk. ---
