How much does a typical bank debit card cost a shop or online merchant to process?
Say I buy an item for £20 – how much does it cost the shop to process my card for payment? Is it the same for online transactions (the charge made by the bank to the merchant)? I’m not talking about credit cards, just debit such as Maestro.

2.5% for debit and up to 4.5 for credit, thats why you can often get a cash discount!

Varies according to the size of the company and the volume of business.
E.g. Marks And Spencer will pay a lot less than a small store.
I believe it varies from 1.75% to 6.5%

I’ve never had my bank or merchant add a charge for me using my debt card. That may vary with laws from country to country, what bank you are using, and who you are buying from.
I’m in the US and use Washington Mutual.

no charges are on debit cards only on credit cards
even RYANAIR dont charge so it is almost certainly costing them nothing or the cost would be passed on to the customer
so the costs are zero
