Merchant Surcharging – Understanding Payment Card Changes
What is a Surcharge?
A payment card surcharge is a fee that a retailer adds to the cost of a purchase when a customer uses a payment card.
Changes to Surcharging Fees in the United States
Beginning January 27, 2013, merchants in the United States and U.S. Territories will be permitted to impose a surcharge on consumers when they use a credit card.
What This Means for Consumers
* Consumers will pay an additional fee when they use their credit card at retailers that decide to surcharge.
* Consumers should be aware there are limits to the amount merchants can surcharge.
* Retailers are permitted to apply a surcharge to only credit card purchases and cannot impose a surcharge for purchases made using a debit or prepaid card.
* If retailers intend to impose a surcharge on credit card purchases, they are required to notify customers before customers make an actual purchase at the store entrance and at the point of sale – or in an online environment, on the first page that references credit card brands.
* Retailers must disclose surcharge fees on every receipt – both in-store and online.
* Carefully review receipts where checkout fees should appear.
* Retailers Can Offer a Discount for Cash and Check Purchases
* Retailers can encourage their customers to use other forms of payment, such as cash and checks, and can discount for PIN debit and cash.
