Thanks for investigating!

My only concern are the prices in the "Feature Cost/Fees/Limits" table.
Can you confirm that "$2,500 per transaction" means "$2 and 50cts" and not
"$2500"! I guess, for banks, the third decimal matters, but it still look a bit
weird to me! 😅

I think that, if there is no objection (and no thousands of $ per transaction),
I’ll do exactly that and open a SumUp bank account for Guix Europe ASAP!
