Where do you get 5X? European interchange is regulated to .3-.4%, the network fees are the same as the US (.1-.2%) and then the payment service provider takes their fee. Online card processing in the EU costs around 1%.
They make sense on US market but I had a chuckle when they mentioned European brands giving them cold shoulder. This problem is solved in Europe through legislative action.
5x higher than they would be allowed to charge in the EU.
