Welcome to the world of VC backed companies. Get users at any cost, figure out you're losing tonnes of money, change it up.

It's not surprising that they've implemented this fee (though 3% is really high for debit -- but maybe their merchant account is UK based and unable to get US debit card rates), but how it applies to USD top ups (rather than US issued cards) makes no sense.
