Credit Card Surcharging
What Is A Credit Card Surcharge?
A surcharge is an additional fee added when a card is used for payment. It's also known as a checkout fee. As a result of a legal settlement, merchants have been allowed to surcharge since 2013.
What Are The Rules Around Credit Card Surcharging?
V/MC rules currently allow a 3% surcharge on credit card payments. Surcharging is not allowed on debit cards, and it's not allowed where it's prohibited by state laws.
The surcharge must be reported in the network authorization and settlement by the credit card processor, and businesses must disclose their surcharging policy at points-of-entry and checkout.
