1.Interchange fees

"Interchange is a small fee paid by the merchant's bank (acquirer) to the cardholder's bank (issuer) to compensate the issuer for the value and benefits that merchants receive when they accept electronic payments. It enables e-payment banks to bring significant value to merchants, governments, and consumers." Definition from Mastercard

Revolut and other card issuers earn money on every transaction you make in a shop. You can see below how much these fees are. For example, a payment between 0 and 12 CHF made in a Swiss shop with a MasterCard contactless debit card, the issuing bank receives 0.02 CHF. You find the list for Europe below
