+ <p>
+ {% trans %}
+ A <b>wire fee</b> is charged by Taler operators
+ on outgoing wire transfers when Taler is used to wire
+ funds into a bank account. Merchants are encouraged to allow Taler to
+ delay and then aggregate many small payments into a single collective
+ wire transfer to minimize wire transfer fees. For example, by
+ configuring a <b>wire deadline</b> of one week, all payments within a
+ week could be aggregated into a single wire transfer, and thus the wire
+ transfer fee would only be charged once per week. The fee is simply
+ subtracted from the total amount wired.

+ might then use the 0.04&nbsp;CHF, 0.64&nbsp;CHF and 2.56&nbsp;CHF coins,

+ <b>Deposit fees</b> charged by Taler payment providers depend on the
+ electronic coins used in the transaction. For example,
+ the deposit fee could be higher for a $1.28&nbsp;CHF coin than for a a $0.01&nbsp;CHF coin. Your wallet will
+ automatically try to select coins that minimize the
+ fees you have to pay.
+ Merchants can offer to pay
+ deposit fees up to a specified limit; customers have to pay deposit
+ fees that exceed what the merchant is willing to cover. Taler wallets

+ <h2>{{ _("How do bounce fees work?") }}</h2>
+ <p>
+ {% trans %}
+ A <b>bounce fee</b> is charged by
+ Taler operators to wire transfers that return funds to customers when
+ either the Taler wallet did not withdraw the amount after
+ <b>4 weeks</b>, or immediately if a wire transfer subject was used that
+ is missing the required code to associate a wallet with the wire
+ transfer. The fee is deducted from the amount transferred back to the
+ original account.
+ {% endtrans %}

+ To avoid paying bounce fees payers should be careful when
+ entering the wire transfer subject, and ensure that their wallet is
+ online within a month of initiating the withdrawal.

+ to do so. Ensure your wallet is regularly online to avoid losing money
