So just to clarify: All fees are now 0.99% correct? Because before there was extra fees for settlement outside the US (3.5% for Canada if I remember)

I was wondering, have you been thinking about offering both "bitcoin payment" and "credit card payment" ? Of course, with a much higher fee on credit cards (I guess you wouldn't be able to keep them low).
You've probably thought about it and ruled out the idea. Just a thought.

Excellent news! Now merchants should have even bigger incentive to take BTC instead of CC.

Great move, congratulations on the success, BitPay! :-)
So, how about accepting Bitcoin (-donations) and receiving Euros via SEPA banktransfer?
0.99% fee, and according to https://bitpay.com/bitcoin-direct-deposit thats it?
Is there an option to automatically do a bank transfer whenever 20 Euro are reached?
Exciting!

If I interpret that right - awesome!Is there an option to automatically do a bank transfer whenever 20 Euro are reached?

you guys shouldn't add too much incentive to cash out USD though. 
hehe, I thought that too.
Congratulations Bitpay. You've just raised the bar significantly.

Does 2M$ include Avalon's 3rd batch ?
Of course not, Avalon's batch 3 has $3M in value

All processing fees now 0.99% including settlement in any local currency we support.

“We chose to celebrate this milestone by rewarding all merchants, large and small, with an across-the-board fee reduction, instead of offering tiered pricing which rewards only the largest merchants,” says Tony Gallippi, co-founder and CEO of BitPay. “We want our merchants to use this fee reduction to offer discounts and incentives to their customers for paying with bitcoin.”
This is a great move! Cheers

Fantastic news, many congratulations to Bitpay.

Awesome, now I will probably switch back from coinbase for selling. BitPay has always been faster, and now they are cheaper too.
wait, so you as an individual can sell BTC via Bitpay?
I am a merchant.... I sell trinkets to myself and get USD in my bank the next day.
