I really don't know, but it is what I suspect. It is hearsay.

The limit varies, 5€, 8, 10, 20... possibly depending on what bank 
conditions each place gets.

I read somewhere that merchants were very interested in the Bizum 
system, which is a person to person instant payment method, with zero 
cost; you only need the phone number of the other person. It is quite 
popular for sharing the cost of a venue in a group of friends. Merchants 
were very interested because of the zero cost part, but soon banks put a 
limit to the amount or number of transactions per month. Also that it is 
designed to go with the personal phone number, not a business account. I 
heard that they want to charge a commission to merchants.
