afaik, there is normal IBAN number for bank account
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Join/International_Bank_Transfer
which gives SEPA priviledges (almost null bank transfer costs)
though i am not sure in which currency is this account


another question is currency problems/risks, at
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Finances/Income_2010
there is line "Foreign Exchange Loss" and "Bank commission" which might
give some idea.
