The hardest part of cross-border fundraising isn't collecting the money — it's getting it to your bank.
Most fundraising platforms are country-locked: they only pay out to bank accounts in a short list of supported countries, and some won't let donors from elsewhere give at all. If your supporters are global, or you live outside the US, UK or EU, that's a wall.
Ralli was built global-first. Supporters can give by card or by low-cost account-to-account bank transfer, and creators are paid direct to their own bank account in around 185 countries — or to a stablecoin wallet where that's easier — typically within about 48 hours, never held on a platform balance.
Cross-border card processing is where fees balloon. Routing over low-cost local rails keeps an international raise far closer to the flat 2% than a card-only platform can manage.
| Platform | Est. fees on $5,000 | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| Ralli — flat 2% + low-cost rails | $150 | 3.0% |
| Givealittle | $250 | 5.0% |
| GoFundMe | $445 | 8.9% |
| JustGiving | $495 | 9.9% |
| Indiegogo | $600 | 12.0% |
