Why is there a fee at all? This is all sponsored by taxes anyway.

Regime-aligned media such as von der Leyen's euronews should be marked as such.

Quite a while ago, SEPA payments were commission-free only when amount 12500 euro or less.

I've heard an anecdote from a friend who worked for a notary at the time, and apparently people were chopping up payments buying for example a house, into a whole bunch of 12500 chunks, just to avoid paying commission.
