What annoys me is the lack of appetite amonst CAD banks/POS companies in creating their own credit card to break free from Mastercard/VISA. I'm not sure how it's going in Europe, I thought WERO was going to do something.

    It blows my mind that the use of US credit cards continues. Interac charges somewhere around 0.1-0.2% transaction fee. Meanwhile American credit cards charge 2-3%. They give you 1% as "rewards" to give you the impression that you're not being robbed and they pocket the rest.

    Knowing that, I now fully respect vendors who charge a credit card fee to their customers instead of forcing everyone to pay for it through blanket higher prices.
