Progress on Card Charges!!!

Picture
The UK Government announced on 23 December that it will take action to:
  • ban excessive charges on all forms of payment
  • extend the ban across most retail sectors, not just transport
  • ban such practices by the end of 2012
Businesses will not be able to apply excessive surcharges - but they will be able to add a small charge to cover their actual costs for using any particular form of payment.
