What are the fees for Tap to Pay?

When you accept payments using Tap to Pay, a small processing fee is applied to each transaction. 💳

Written by Léonel Loens

The fee you'll pay most of the time

The vast majority of payments you receive come from regular consumer cards issued in Europe. For these, the fee is:

  • ⚠️ Users who activated Tap To Pay before 12.08.2026: European Economic Area-issued Visa & Mastercard (consumer cards) €0.12 + 1.1% of the transaction amount (excluding VAT)

    • Users who activated before 12.08.2026 will automatically switch over to the new pricing on the 10.10.2026

  • ‼️ Users who activated Tap To Pay after 12.08.2026: European Economic Area-issued Visa & Mastercard (consumer cards) 1.35% of the transaction amount (excluding VAT)

These are the everyday Visa and Mastercard cards issued to individuals within the EEA, the cards your customers tap with day to day.

When a different fee applies

In rarer cases, a higher fee of 2,6% + 0.20€ (excluding VAT) applies. This is the case for:

  • consumer cards issued outside the EEA

  • commercial cards (business credit or debit cards), whether issued inside or outside the EEA

In short: whenever the card isn't a standard European consumer card, the €0.20 + 2.6% rate applies.


Do these fees include VAT?

No. All fees listed above exclude VAT.

VAT may be added where applicable according to local tax rules.
