You are suggesting that these rules are the same for the whole world?

We can waste bandwidth on this topic for ages. I will not do that
further. It is selfevident that these rules differ from country to
country. It is also a fact that not all not-for-profits in all
countries have to comply with the very strict rules that are in force
for government supported organisations in First World countries like,
e.g (sic), France.

Anyway, you implied below that credit card would also not work for
you.  Should we not do that either then?

I asked to make life easier for some. C'est tout.
