      True! Fed data corroborates this, and it appears the gap has only widened since.

      So I was wrong. Thank you for the heads up. I’ll correct it shortly.

        Interesting to see that this has only changed, fairly (last 3 - 6 years), recently and the profit from merchant vs interest fees has pretty much flipped!

        I didn’t know about the Fed data, so that to me feels like a good solid source as well.
