The outcome of this settlement was to permit passing on fees and to allow minimums.
Now that has been thrown out, so let's go right back to the old way where I could trust that using a credit card would work and not cost money.
The "convenience" argument for credit cards makes no sense to me. As a business owner, it's way more convenient to have money just magically appear in my account than it is to have to count it, store it, transport it to the bank, pay for it to be processed at the bank, and worry about somebody walking off with it at any point in that process.
We can quibble over how much that's worth, but I think it's worth way more than the EU caps for interchange (0.3%) - especially given that the networks and card issuers do have to eat a significant amount of fraud.
- TheCowboy 10y agoI'm not clear on how my solution negatively affects you as a business owner. It doesn't require you to pass on the fees. It's up to you as the business owner. Unless you think you might lose out on competition adding the fees and accepting cash at a discount. If anything, it could possibly lead to more competition on fees and charges by credit card service providers.
