Heads up about a change for EU patrons (Patreon)

A new EU law is going into effect this month that will require Patreon to add an extra security step for EU patrons. This is to reduce fraud for card holders, and all companies with EU customers are required to comply.

As a result, if you add a new credit or debit card, or pledge to a new creator, you may see a pop-up from your bank that requests a username and password, a code sent to email or text, or any other authentication method supported by your bank. If you have any questions or issues with one of these popups, it’s best to contact your bank directly, as Patreon does not control the form.
