This is a bit too much of a listicle of payment methods, especially given we don't exactly recommend them all. Something like this would suffice:

'However, they do accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and a variety of other payment methods.'

Ideally Forwardmail would have a page where they do say what services they support and we'd link on the "variety of other methods" part.

On the footer of every page of our website are all the payment methods we support.

We also have a FAQ section here that could be linked at https://forwardemail.net/faq#which-payment-methods-do-you-accept

I believe the reason they don't accept crypto is irrelevant or not necessary. We should also see wheter they accept cash(they don't) and prepaid cards (they seem to do).

'Forward Mail do not accept cryptocurrency or cash payments. However, they do accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and a variety of other payment methods.'

@titanism Is there any specific reason why you don't accept cash?

@jordan-warne we don't have a PO box setup nor the resources to have someone routinely check. You could use a pre-paid VISA card instead purchased with cash perhaps.

@jonaharagon @dngray @freddy-m would you like us to implement all these changes and update our PR? or feel free to edit our PR directly to satisfy needs. Thank you!

We wouldn't be marking this one as green though because the benefit of cryptocurrency like monero/cash is anonymous purchasing. There is no reason to list a heap of fiat payment processors that don't have any privacy benefits over each other, so we would just link to the above faq item.


#### :material-check:{ .pg-green } Data Security

Forward Email uses [quantum safe ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption](https://forwardemail.net/blog/docs/best-quantum-safe-encrypted-email-service) on your mailboxes, messages, and more. Its data center providers are SOC Type 2 compliant and it uses encryption at rest and encryption in-transit.

#### :material-information-outline:{ .pg-blue } Email Encryption

Forward Email does not yet support OpenPGP, however it uses ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption on your entire mailbox.

#### :material-information-outline:{ .pg-blue } Account Termination

Forward Email does not automatically delete accounts. Users can delete their entire account at anytime by going to [My Account &rarr; Security](https://forwardemail.net/my-account/security).

#### :material-information-outline:{ .pg-blue } Additional Functionality

Forward Email has support for [webhooks](https://forwardemail.net/faq#do-you-support-webhooks) and [regular expressions](https://forwardemail.net/faq#do-you-support-regular-expressions-or-regex), and allows you to download your encrypted mailbox and [create a new backup](https://forwardemail.net/blog/docs/best-quantum-safe-encrypted-email-service#backups) at anytime.
