Stripe only charges 1.4% for European cards? I've been paying 2.9% for all cards, even if they're based in Europe.

  Are you based in Europe?

    No, US. So if based in Europe charging European cards it's 1.4%? Wish US-based charging US-cards was as favorable.

      EU: https://stripe.com/nl/pricing https://stripe.com/nl/pricing https://stripe.com/de/pricing https://stripe.com/de/pricing https://stripe.com/gb/pricing https://stripe.com/gb/pricing etc. US and Japan for example: https://stripe.com/us/pricing https://stripe.com/us/pricing https://stripe.com/jp/pricing https://stripe.com/jp/pricing ( no fixed ) Must have something to do with: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-15-4585_en.htm http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-15-4585_en.htm

      Visa and MC are responsible for that, and Visa and MC will say that the regulatory frameworks in these countries dictate that level of pricing.

      The interchange rate is capped in the EU, but not cross-border.
