Your bank actually has to lie to you to remain solvent. All banks do. The Central Bank also encourage it. Last year you saw both that banks were 'forced' to withhold dividends and they were perfectly capitalised. Both cant be true

Well probably to stop people buying at $500. If at any point it crashes to $100 it's going to make people more upset.

If you are a European store, and say you receive in EUR and charge in another currency it is highly disadvantageous to you. The payment processor usually charges a fee to convert the currency. Stripe for example charges 2% to convert (which

UK shops will get the normal regime (i.e not 1.5%). It is a UK card payer using an EU shop that this is relevant to.

I'm a bit unclear on how. So you have your ecommerce store charging in EUR, and you pay with your Monzo/Starling/Revolut whatever and get the interbank rate to GBP. How is the store going to pass costs onto consumers in a way

Ryanair most likely will try to use the new open banking push payment technology. This way the payment can't be reversed and its a faster payment under the hood (cheaper than a debit card for them).

Modern UK banks like Monzo tell you to pay in the currency of the store and let them do the conversion for you (at the interbank rate).. The only way really is to charge more for shipping.

Your typical shopify store doesn't charge extra for using Amex or a different card provider (or card country). It can only be in the shipping cost.

In the UK payment is moving away to even cheaper methods using Open Banking with Faster payments, which is technically near free - a bit like Giropay. So on the payment end there is an alternative coming better for merchants anyway.

Your typical shopify store charges the same stuff for everyone, you pick the country and pay at checkout. The only differentiator is shipping costs. So i don't understand the meaning when you say customers. The loser is the EU merchant

Unless UK customers get different pricing to EU ones it wont make a difference. The one receiving the funds (in the EU) is the one that is left worse off. The winner is the UK based bank processing transactions..

Why would they want to do that? The company receiving the money (in the EU) is the one that receives less money. The UK bank receives a higher interchange.

Emmanuel Macron has been getting newspapers to pull down their articles in the past few weeks (the FT usually never removes articles but they did too). I bet barely anyone notices. Interesting that politico sent one straight to print today
