Encryption of payment cards: The lowest combined costs for Esther.fi, Plasma, Backpack second and third

On 12 July, KOL Nikita disclosed that it had carried out the same 9.69 euro consumption test in Europe for Ether.fi, Plasma, Backpack, Lava, Jup Mobile and KAST's encryption payment cards. After the combined exchange rate, fees and recoveries, Esther.fi ranked first at the actual cost of $10.72, Plasma ranked second at the cost of $10.93 and Backpack ranked third at 11.07. Tests show a difference of about 5 per cent in the actual cost of consumption between different encrypted payment cards, which is determined mainly by the foreign-exchange differentials, the handling fees and the return mechanism. Ether.fi achieves the best performance on a continuous basis with better exchange rates and chains; Plasma, with a lower exchange rate than some of the new products, relies on 3 per cent for a second return; and KAST, with a lower exchange rate and an additional charge, is the most cost-effective product in the test for the second time in a row。
