Knowledge base
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers on scope, timing, and what information is needed to run an initial commercial assessment.
Yes. The initial assessment is provided at no cost and without obligation.
In the EU, consumer debit interchange is capped at 0.2% and consumer credit at 0.3% under the Interchange Fee Regulation. On top of that, merchants typically pay scheme fees (Visa/Mastercard, roughly 0.05%–0.15%) and an acquirer markup. Realistic total card processing costs range from 0.6% to 2.5% depending on card mix, channel and provider.
IC++ (Interchange++) breaks your fee into three transparent components: interchange + scheme fee + acquirer markup. Blended pricing bundles everything into a single rate. IC++ is almost always cheaper for merchants with a high share of low-interchange domestic cards, because you stop overpaying on the spread. Blended can be simpler to forecast but typically costs more.
Yes. Acquirer markups, monthly platform fees, terminal rental and scheme fee pass-through are all negotiable — especially once you cross roughly EUR 20,000 in monthly card volume. The challenge is benchmarking: without an objective view of the market, most merchants accept the first offer. FeeFox provides that benchmark.
Yes. FeeFox assesses payment setups for merchants across the European Union, including cross-border and multi-country processing. Our benchmarks cover pan-EU acquirers, regional banks and specialist PSPs.
Not necessarily. FeeFox presents better-fit options, but the decision remains entirely yours. In many cases the most efficient outcome is renegotiating with your current acquirer using FeeFox benchmarks as leverage.
Most initial reviews are completed within 24 hours. A full provider comparison with cost modelling typically takes 2–3 business days depending on transaction volume and complexity.
No. We can begin with partial information (latest monthly statement or a screenshot) and refine the view as needed. PSD2 entitles you to full transparency on your fees.
Yes. The assessment compares provider fit across different transaction patterns — e-commerce, omnichannel retail, marketplaces, subscriptions, high-risk verticals, B2B and cross-border merchants.
