Can I donate in a foreign currency?


We accept donations from anywhere in the world and process payments in GBP, AUD, USD, CAD, and EUR on GiveWheel.

To change your donation currency, use the selector on the donation page and select your desired currency from the dropdown.

How To: Change your donation currency

When you choose to donate in a foreign currency, all donations are settled in GBP at the time of donation. Naturally, currency conversion rates vary and your donation will be settled in GBP based on the rate at the time of the conversion. Wherever possible GiveWheel seeks to achieve the best conversion rate for charities and utilises multiple disbursement providers to actively monitor rates.


If you use a non-UK card, the fee charged by Stripe our payment provider, may also be higher than our usual rate. You can check the applicable fees in our article below:

What fees does GiveWheel charge?

If you wish to donate in a currency outside of the list above, you can proceed to checkout in any of our accepted currencies, and our payment provider, Stripe, will offer the option to convert the donation amount to your local currency, based on your current location:

In this case, Stripe will charge a 4% conversion fee, payable at the point of donation in addition to your donation amount.
