This is becoming harder and harder, because banks push everyone to use
onlinebanking — with non-free apps and non-free Javascript. And it costs
money: A bank transfer by going to the branch is nowadays more expensive
than the amount people usually donate per month.

So they should rather link to liberapay, so it is not a direct offer?
After the initial setup liberapay usually does the automatic renewal, so
it is not necessary to interact with non-free Javascript after the
initial setup. That’s not perfect, but much better than PayPal.

And it does not work for many people in Europe (I for example have no
credit card).
