 If you have a **European bank account**, then

 You probably won't need this information, but in case your bank asks for it:
 SWIFT is **BKBBCHBB**, BIC is **BKBBCHBBXXX**, the bank's name is **Basler
 Kantonalbank**, and the clearing-number is **770**.
 
-<h2>Alternative transaction details</h2>

-plan to open an IBAN account for each currency someone might want to pay in,

-some expenses in EUR, and an IBAN account in that currency:
