In Switzerland Stripe is already 2.9% + CHF0.30 which is higher than the new rate in the EU.

If you want a local solution that also can do Twint (Swiss p2p payments) without extra contracts then I would recommend you try Payrexx[1].

Per transaction fees are also less than what Stripe is charging although you have a monthly fixed fee.

We're outside the EEA cap on interchange fees, that's not surprising.


Thanks. I'm wondering, are you affiliated with Payrexx?


Switzerland isn't in the EEA though? or am I mistaken


> Switzerland ....

Everything's outrageously expensive in Switzerland, so why shouldn't Stripe be too !


You're correct. It's in EFTA and the Schengen Area, but not in the EEA or the EU.
