Help Us Reduce Processing Fees
The payment method and processor you choose when you donate or update your membership determines the amount received by Network Time Foundation. Some payment processors deduct a processing fee, meaning a portion of your money goes to them rather than to us. These are the current fees by the payment methods and processors we support:
| Payment Method | Processor | Fees Paid by NTF |
|---|
| Visa/Mastercard | Stripe | 2.2% + $0.30/transaction |
| Visa/Mastercard | Paypal | 1.99% + $0.49/transaction |
| Discover | Stripe | 2.2% + $0.30/transaction |
| Discover | Paypal | 1.99% + $0.49/transaction |
| American Express | Stripe | 3.5% + $0.30/transaction |

| Google Pay | Stripe | same price as credit card, above |
| ACH (bank transfer using donation form) | Stripe | 0.8% with $5 cap |
| ACH (direct bank transfer) | contact us for bank info | zero transaction fees |

| Github sponsorship as an individual | GitHub | zero transaction fees |
| Github sponsorship as an organization | GitHub | donating organization pays 6% (3% if invoiced) |
| Patreon (not currently available) | Patreon | 8% |
Note: our donation form provides an option to add 3% to assist in covering the transaction fee. Depending upon the amount of the donation and the selected processor, this may over- or under-pay the actual transaction fee.
If you wish to pay by check, make it payable to “Network Time Foundation, Inc.” and send it to:

Please include a note indicating whether or not you would like us to publish your name as a donor on our website. If the check is for a membership (over $125), also indicate that you agree to the membership, the size of t-shirt (if you would like one), and the address to send the t-shirt to.
