Well, as written in my first email, SumUp seems to practice
differenciated prices: In the US, where banking is generally expensive,
I think, they have higher prices than in Germany, where many people pay
in cash and banking is comparatively cheap. France is somewhere in
between.

I do not see your numbers; but here:
   https://www.sumup.com/en-us/credit-card-processing-fees/
they go from 2.6% + 10¢ to 3.5% + 15¢ per transaction.
In Germany:
   https://www.sumup.com/de-de/preise/
they go from 1.39% to 2.5%,
and in France, which are the numbers that interest us:
   https://www.sumup.com/fr-fr/tarifs/
from 1.75% to 2.5%.
This is consistent with the two tests I made (1€ by credit card on the
terminal was 2¢, 10€ over a payment link 25¢).

I believe that the bank account itself is free and that only credit card
transactions incur fees (but this is not tested).

That sounds really good!
