You're mixing up total cost of processing the card (which is what Stripe and other gateways charge) with the Visa/MC rent.

"Therefore, the Regulation caps interchange fees for consumer debit cards to 0.2 % and consumer credit cards to 0.3 % of the value of the transaction."



The (now called) interchange fees go to the card issuing banks, not the card networks. Both network/scheme fees and processor fees come on top of that.
