     The BNZ advertises the New Zealand account number 020844 0074501-00. Let me know if you need help getting money to that from overseas. I’m sure the BNZ will know how to advise you.

     I heard on the radio the woman who set up that account and she’s ordinary and genuine.

     Thanks, Val.

   The BNZ have given me a little more detail. They have waived transaction fees, so everything you send will reach the miners’ relief fund.

   For New Zealand residents, the bank account to credit — through internet banking or at your nearest BNZ branch — is:

   Pike River Mine BNZ Appeal
   Greymouth branch
   02 0844 0074501-00

   From overseas, the easiest donation method is with a credit card through Grab One at http://www.grabone.co.nz/dunedin-invercargill/pike-river-miners-relief-fund. If you go to the Australian site at http://www.grabone.com.au, there’s a link to the NZ site at the top of the page.

   You have to register first, which is easy and painless.

   PLEASE NOTE that there’s a limit of $5 per donation, but NO CREDIT CARD FEES are charged by Grab One, so to donate more, just perform multiple transactions.

   Large overseas donations

   For those of greater generosity wanting to donate three or four-figure amounts, you should use a Telegraphic Transfer from your local bank. As well as the basic account information shown above, you will need this:

   Bank address:
   Store 91,
   MacKay Street,
   Greymouth 7805.

   SWIFT BKNZNZ22

   Your transaction will cost something at your end, plus there’s a fee of $25 added at this end.

   The latest news is that $1.3 million has poured in to the miners’ relief fund.

   Thank you for your generosity.
