The fees for a specific service shall be equal for all those who use them, and there may not be differences other than those derived from the specific volume involved.

This pertains to the amount to be paid monthly to Redbanc, proportional to the number of Cards issued by a Financial Institution, which are reported to the Company, which may potentially access the services provided.
