It looks like Patreon now has a way for some patrons to pledge in their own currency to prevent conversion fees. Below are the details. 

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:

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

Click Manage memberships.

Find this page, and click Edit.

Under Currency, choose your preferred currency.

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.

I've just switched my membership to GB ££ but for some reason Patreon has sent me a message as if I was signing up for the first time! Not sure if this has happened to anyone else?

Joanna, I know quite a few patrons have switched to their own currency since I posted that. I'm not sure if they got the email that acts as if they signed up for the first time. On my end, I just get "Name has switched to euros or pounds." Nothing like the "You have a new patron" notifications.
