Divide and conquer. It's gaming and software apps now. It'll be bank transactions and commerce later on.

A 1% "Apple Platform Safety Fee" on Robinhood wouldn't surprise me....

Sounds like you’re complaining about a hypothetical future where they charge less than Visa and MasterCard?

No, in this world they will charge on top of Visa and Mastercard.

What about funding your robinhood account from your bank and not a card, so neither you nor robinhood pay transaction fees?

Bank rails still cost money on a per transaction basis.

ACH costs a few cents per transaction. I’ve never seen a company pass this on to their customers.
