Appreciate the explanation. We actually noticed a huge improvement since last summer with charges made with Stripe. Still, we lost a few thousands €€ in these years because of customers' banks rejecting our transactions. I hope that one day this problem will be gone.

We share that desire, and are iterating on this a thousandth of a basis point at a time, because at the scale of the internet it really matters. (Anyone want to work on this? Super fun stuff. https://stripe.com/jobs/listing/backend-api-engineer-acquiri... You get to e.g. build systems which blackbox reverse engineer the behavior of financial institutions worldwide, in some cases getting to explain the behavior of their systems to them directly because the people who built them retired years ago.)
