Overview
Concerns about card networks’ merchant fees are about to be reignited by Amazon’s upcoming ban of Visa credit cards issued in the UK. The e-commerce titan has taken issue with Visa’s merchant fees—just like many merchants have had problems with all card networks’ fees in the past—and the squabble will likely draw the attention of regulators, potentially complicating card networks’ and issuers’ business models.
