I pay 3€ per month to "Nordea" for "unlimited" accounts and one VISA debit card.

My banks pays me more than that per month to use their debit cards.

  • So are you the product at your bank or why would they pay you to use their services?

    • Fractional reserve banking. Banks would even pay interest on money you had in your account in times past.

      And then the fact that banks and card companies are charging merchants a fee for transactions and have margin to give back some of those fees to the customers.
