The bank takes some (usually a per Tx fee)....the cardcompanies take some (usually a percentage of the Tx)...the card processing company takes some (can be flat fee or percentage of Tx). It does get fancier than that (like first x Txs cost x per Tx...then after that..less per Tx). So there ya go...all companies involved in the Tx get a piece of the action...and remember...if you buy something in the store....the store gets charged (by the cc company) a percentage of the Tx for the use of the card, and a fee to deposit the money (these are transparent to the customer). Online the only extra fee is the cc card processing company.
