Apple charges the banks and credit card issuers a fee every time Apple Pay is used, rather than charging the company receiving the money.

How do you know that Apple receives a fee for the transaction? I'd be curious to see a source.

Yup exactly. What is the incentive here for the banks to allow Apple to tokenize CC numbers, AND pay Apple for it? Some kind of risk/liability reduction?
