**Online payment service PayPal is reducing the variable fees it charges UK charities
to handle online donations by up to 59%.**

Qualifying charities that previously paid 3.4% plus 20p for receiving a domestic
payment will now pay only 1.4% plus 20p. Cross-border payment rates have also fallen.

To benefit from this new rate organisations need to apply and be approved by [PayPal](http://www.paypal.co.uk).
The rate is available only to non-profit organisations that are registered either
with the Charity Commission for England and Wales or the Office of the Scottish 
Charity Regulator.
