Unsure whether they're using a different fee model for the "Fund" payments. But they're open about the fees for payments from individuals (each transaction on a collective's page shows the fee breakdown).

> Open Collective takes 10% + credit card fees (usually 3% + $0.30/transaction) [0]

A few concrete examples (dependent upon payment processor chosen)

For $1, a collective got ~$0.56

For $100, a collective got ~$86.60

I was getting very close to the inter-bank exchange rate for payouts.
