[members-discuss] Billing scheme

With all the confusion around billing I've seen on this list, I understand RIPE discontinuing their service of allowing quarterly payments.

You can get a loan to bridge the first year and save up for subsequent years, essentially replacing RIPE's free service by a commercial one with an interest for the first year and by saving up yourself for the following years.

The extra costs of this change are only the interest for such a business loan (which depends on the inflation of the currency your business uses, but for EUR currently around 3-6% afaik). Even if it were 10% interest on the €1k4 fee it'd be €140 spread out over a year (=€12/month), that should not be a burden even for a very small business.
