Discover why electronic payments cost you more than you think
Join us to make a difference
Today, we want to tell you about a reality you might be unaware of: every time you pay with electronic methods like PayPal, Klarna, or a credit card, you are contributing to reducing the value of your money by at least 2% to 5%.
You might not be aware of it, but every electronic transaction involves currency days where your money is used for investments in the most profitable sectors, and a commission that banks and financial institutions retain, investing that sum in shares, bonds, and activities of large multinational corporations. These companies often have no scruples, and their profits fuel practices that go against the values of social justice and global well-being.
Here's a simple and practical example to help you understand better: Imagine you have €100 and you make a purchase using a credit card that immediately deducts 2% to 5% of the amount, or €2 to €5, meaning that payment is effectively €98. Now, imagine doing this 10 more times during the month. In the end, that initial €100 you had in your pocket, after a series of transactions, has practically become... zero! Every payment reduces the value of your money. And it's not just a "small loss," but money that every company that allows you to pay with electronic payment recharges onto the product you are buying, so it should be clear to you that you are paying this percentage.
A system where the more you buy, the more the value of your money decreases.
All financial institutions that offer or move this money often engage in questionable activities because they finance: electoral campaigns, support authoritarian regimes, trade in armaments, and the reconstruction of countries destroyed by wars, which the same multinationals may have helped finance.
And it doesn't end there: the same banking institutions are able to incentivize consumerism, pushing citizens into debt by offering payments from days to months, to buy what they don't have, increasing poverty and economic inequality.
In a world where every financial decision matters, we at Sant'Egle have chosen to raise awareness of this system. We are convinced that it should not be the global banking and financial system that decides where your money goes, but you.
That's why we have decided to offer an alternative to electronic methods.
In this way, we not only avoid the "dilution" of your money's value, but we also don't have to increase prices to pay commissions!
Together, we can say no to this cycle of consumption and poverty that harms society.
Join us in this revolution: choose to be aware and make more responsible choices.
Support an ethical economic system: for your next order, PAY BY BANK TRANSFER, not only will you protect the value of your money, but you will also take a step towards a more ethical economic world.
Thank you for your support from all of us at Sant'Egle
