The people at Ingenico who decided you can’t insert your chip-card until the green light goes on will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
If you're paying to rent a terminal you're just getting scammed my a middleman - which does happen. I worked with a local business that was making monthly payments on a "$5000" terminal for years. Same device sold for under $200.

Yes the "2%" is assuming reasonably large payments and precludes micropayment business models. Whether that's a good or bad thing, I'm not sure. Extremely low (and no per-attempt) cost of VoIP just led to massive usage by scammers, no legitimate personal or business benefits.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Well, conditions are different between US and EU I guess (here, we are more in the 0.2-0.3% fees + fixed fee). But rent or not rent, the fact that there is a fixed part in fees doesn't help enabling low value transactions.

Again, I agree but I don't accept it's a given that enabling low-value transactions is a social good. For VoIP it was a disaster.https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/1003366288687882243 …

Yes, I agree (I saw your other comment too late / only after posting mine).
