Every card payment costs to the merchant - but how much?
A transaction processed through a US card costs almost double compared to a European one, while payments from Africa, Asia, or Latin America often carry high cross-border fees or rely on wallets that bypass cards entirely.
These variations create massive gaps in cost and risk, but most businesses never measure or plan for them - and this costs them dearly!
Without a clear payment and banking strategy, companies lose control over fees, damage cash flow and even customer experience.
Understanding payments and banking is a MUST - every transaction behaves differently depending on where it comes from and how its processed.
