Payment processing costs are a scam. They're 10x as expensive as they need to be to fund rewards programs and fund the financial system.

EU max credit card transaction fees are 0.3%, in the US they can be up to 4%.

It just doesn't cost 4% of a transaction to handle the exchange of funds. Just wealth transfer to finance people and the upper class who take advantage of credit card perks.
