UK retailers attack Visa and Mastercard over card fees
A Finextra member

  @Nick Collin - You're quite right. But it's a pedantic point. The fees are levied by Visa & Mastercard to the merchants card acquirer - who passes them on directly to the merchants. I'm not aware of a single acquirer that's not passing these fees on. Please tell me if I'm wrong!

  With the amount of pilots we have seen around the Globe over the last few years and the benefit a Biometic card offers for the Covid consious public (let alone the secutiry benefits already proven!) now is the time to bring this as standard to consumers.
