    What is video verification and why is it necessary?

    According to the current legal regulations, the Hungarian Money Laundering Act and the Hungarian National Bank's Decree, you can store a maximum of HUF 300,000 in your Barion account at any given time, and your annual turnover may not exceed HUF 260,000 until you verify your identity. You can do this as part of a video call. You need nothing more than your ID or driver's license. If you authenticate yourself this way, you can then store an unlimited amount of money on Barion. You can perform authentication by logging in to the Barion system under My Wallet »Wallet Check. Or click the link below: https://secure.barion.com/Verification/VerifyMe

    Do I need to pay taxes on the funds I have collected through Donably?

    Since donations are immediately credited to your account, if the amount of support received from one person per year does not exceed HUF 300,000, you do not have to pay tax on this amount. Donably's system takes care of you so that you don't exceed this limit.

    Do I need to provide an invoice for the donations?

    Donably automatically generates an invoice in your name after each transaction and emails it to your supporter.

    Barion currently supports only credit-card payments, but will soon expand payment options.

    If for some reason the transaction failed, you will receive a clear error message from the payment system stating the reason for the error (For ex. expired credit card). Please try your payment again after correcting the error.

    How long does it take until I can access the funds sent to my account?

    The funds sent to you appear instantly on your Barion account; you don't need to wait to access them.

    Who can see how much funds I have received?

    The funds sent to you go directly to your account, so these are visible only to you.

    How it works
    How can I send a donation to someone?

If you don't have a Donably account yet, you can pay after completing a simplified registration process by following the instructions.

    Why should I support someone with a donation?

    If someone creates content you find valuable, such as videos, podcasts, or blogs on a topic that interests you, it’s worth supporting them with a small amount so they don’t have to waste energies on finding a sponsor, but rather focus on what they are really good at, which is creating content! Your small, coffee-cup sized donation is a big opportunity of freedom to a creator!

    What is Donably?

    Donably is a system for collecting donations which anyone may use who accepts and follows our Terms and Conditions

    Where can I post the link to my Donably page?

    Wherever you want as long as it doesn't violate Donably rules. It's best to post it everywhere you publish some content, whether it's Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or just your own personal blog or website. The more places you post it, the more donations you can expect!

    What kind of header image shall I use on my donation page?
