So a £100 transaction attracts £1.50 in fees where previously it was 30p. Sorry but the financial system does actually cost money to operate, inconvenient as that might be, and international transactions cost more. The EU has had a good go at making laws trying to paper over the fact that these were international transactions but in this case those laws are only 5 years old. I’m not going to lose sleep over £1.20. I’d spend more time thinking about whether to spend the £100 in the first place.
