What fees are applied to donations?

Our platform has zero admin fees.

GIVE.asia operates without any administration fee. Our operational expenses are covered by the kindness of donors who opt to provide a voluntary gratuity when making a donation. This model enables us to maintain a platform with zero admin fee and zero advertisement.

There is only a payment processing fee of 1.5% incurred on donations. This nominal charge is imposed by financial institutions and payment gateways. We take pride in having successfully secured one of the most competitive rates in Asia.

This means that when $100 is donated on GIVE.asia, $98.50 reaches the beneficiary and $1.50 goes to the bank and payment gateway as a payment processing fee.

Note on additional fees on transactions performed in local currency, but merchant location is outside home country

Please note that the donation transactions are processed in Singapore. If your card is not issued by a Singapore bank, even if the donation is charged in your local currency, a small amount of administrative fee (usually 1%) might be imposed by your bank. This fee will be debited from your card account in addition to the donation amount. You may need to approach your card issuing bank for more details.
