The funny part is that EC (a German-only card network that stands for the E in EMV, with MasterCard and VISA being the M and V) has less than 0.125% fees for the smaller retailers, and even less for larger ones – you basically only pay the interchange fees.

This is why e.g. ALDI for many years only took EC, but not MasterCard or VISA.
