Pledging to be available in Euros (€), British Pounds (£) or U.S. Dollars ($)

Apparently the big NEW news from Patreon is that they're adding support for EUR € and GBP £ to payment options, with the promise of adding more currencies in the future. While I'm not an expert on exchange rates and purchases from one monetary unit from another, I assume this means that patrons from different markets will get a better--or more accurate (without and extra fees)--rate for their patronage.

Right now, this choice is opt-in for creators, but it will be site-wide by October 5th, 2020.

Below is the suggested form letter Patreon has sent out to Creator Accounts. I'm sure, if you're a patron to other creators, you'll see this in multiple formats. So, I'm gonna to present it as is for your reference.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share some good news.  Everyone in the UK, EU and U.S. can now pledge my Patreon in their local  currency of Euros (€), British Pounds (£) or U.S. Dollars ($). This  will help prevent you paying extra conversion fees from your bank or  card when pledging in a currency that’s not your own. 

Any new visitors to my page will see  my tiers priced in their local currency of €, £, or $. For those of you  who would like to switch your preferred currency you can follow these  steps:

1. On Patreon.com, hover over your avatar in the top right of your screen.

2. Click Manage memberships.

3.  Find this page, and click Edit.

4.  Under Currency, choose your preferred currency.

 5.  Click Update to save your settings.

For those of you outside of these currencies, you’ll continue to see your pledge priced in my currency.

Check out this help center article if you have questions about changing your currency, or this article if you have questions about how tiers are priced in these new currencies.

Thanks for your support,
