MODERATORS
But aren’t the current fees some nickel per transaction, e. g., if you pay with a credit card? Why are the fees so high currently? I do not think that the banks have such a high margin.
Credit cards are expensive, because their security measures can be circumvented by a moderately good photograph of one. You're paying for all the fraud getting compensated.
But a regular (first-party) bank transfer has no such overhead.
