The Reserve Bank of Australia is developing new regulations which will ban companies from imposing excessive charges on their customer’s credit cards.
The RBA is proposing that providers such as Visa or Mastercard limit the amount that businesses are able to charge for transactions that take place on their customer’s credit cards.
Malcolm Edey of the RBA says that that the proposal limiting surcharges was at the final stage of consultation.
According to Dr. Edey, the regulations would restrict the surcharge that businesses can levy on their customers, though it would not necessarily result in a cap on the cost of the transaction. Dr. Edey says the RBA hopes that the new regulation would result in smaller transaction costs for both consumers and businesses.
Providers such as Visa would be able to take action against those business which violate the new regulations and continue to impose excessive surcharges.
