| Xfce has created two collectives, known as [[https://opencollective.com/xfce|Xfce]] and [[https://opencollective.com/xfce-eu|Xfce-eu]], respectively. `Xfce` will process and handle all financial contribution/donation transactions in U.S. Dollars supporting methods such as PayPal, SWIFT transfers and credit cards. The Xfce-eu collective is set up to allow transactions in EUR currency using SEPA transfers and credit cards. | ---- |
| |
| In addition to handling processing fees and holding Xfce's financial contributions, Open Collective also provides resources for payment authorization and dispersal, monthly reporting, transaction transparency. See [6] for an example of the last two features. Note: processing times and fees differ between to the two collectives. Briefly, **Xfce** is a 10% fee, and **Xfce-eu** is 6%. Details on this can be found under the two collectives' fiscal hosts: **Open Source Collective(OSC)** and **Open Collective Europe(OCE)**. | ===== Structure of Open Collective relationship ===== |
