Sponsorship through GitHub Sponsor#
International Bank Cards (domestic or international cards are accepted)#
International bank cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc., excluding UnionPay.
- Go to the Billing Settings page on GitHub and set up your payment method.
- In "Payment method," please select "Credit card."
- After entering your card number, expiration date, and CVV, click "Save payment information."
Note: Some bank cards may require purchasing foreign currency in advance.
UnionPay#
Unfortunately, GitHub no longer supports PayPal, so you cannot sponsor through UnionPay. 😞
If you only have a UnionPay card, please use Stripe for sponsorship.
How to apply for an international bank card?
Applying for a new MasterCard debit card#
If you don't have an international bank card, you can apply for a new Bank of China MasterCard debit card.
Please refer to this article for detailed steps. Special thanks to @poplite for providing the guide.
Requirements#
- Applicant must be at least 16 years old.
- Applicant must hold a UnionPay debit card issued by Bank of China and belong to Class I account.
Steps#
- Go to a Bank of China branch and open a UnionPay debit card. (Skip this step if you already have one)
- Generally, you need to prepare your ID card, work/student ID, proof of residence, and your own mobile phone number.
- If the bank branch refuses to issue a Class I card, insist on stating that you need it for overseas travel or foreign exchange purposes.
- Apply directly on the website. Please refer to this article.
