An independent view of what EU merchants actually pay to accept cards.

FeeFox was founded to fix a structural asymmetry: acquirers and payment providers know exactly what you are paying — and why — while most merchants don't. We close that gap with independent, data-driven benchmarks for businesses across the European Union.

Transparency over complexity.

Payment pricing in Europe is one of the most profitable opacities in B2B commerce. Every week we see merchants on legacy contracts paying 20%–40% more than market rates — not because they negotiated poorly, but because the structures were never designed to be comparable.

Our job is to make them comparable. We don't sell card terminals. We don't sell acquirer contracts. We build the independent benchmark EU merchants have been missing.

FeeFox operates from two offices — one in Warsaw, one in Athens — giving us visibility into both Central-Eastern Europe and Southern Europe merchant economics. Our benchmark dataset spans 8 EU countries and is growing.

Warsaw, Poland

Central hub for product, engineering and the analyst team. Regional focus on Poland, Germany, Czech Republic and the Baltics.

Athens, Greece

Commercial and merchant-relations hub. Regional focus on Greece, Italy, Spain, Cyprus and Southern Europe cross-border acquiring.

Methodology you can verify.

We're transparent about how benchmarks are produced — because we ask merchants to trust our numbers with commercial decisions.

01

Real merchant data, anonymized

Benchmarks are built from anonymized live merchant statements across the EU, not provider rate cards. This captures the actual spread between list pricing and negotiated pricing.

02

Segmented by volume, vertical and card mix

A €30k/month fashion retailer in Athens and a €2m/month SaaS company in Warsaw do not face the same market. Benchmarks are banded by volume, industry and transaction profile.

03

Refreshed continuously

EU acquirer pricing is structurally deflationary. Our dataset is updated monthly so benchmarks reflect current market rates — not historical averages.

04

Independence is the product

FeeFox takes no commissions from acquirers or PSPs on merchant outcomes. If an assessment recommends staying with your current provider, that's the recommendation. Our revenue depends on being right, not on routing.
