Visa, Mastercard mull increasing fees for processing transactions: WSJ
Worth noting that here in NYC, the courts have gone back and forth on whether passing transaction fees onto consumer is legal: <a href="https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2018/10/23/ny-court-of-appeals-says-info-requirement-on-credit-card-surcharge-doesnt-infringe-merchants-speech-right/?slreturn=20190115114916" rel="nofollow">https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2018/10/23/ny-court-of...</a><p>I remember being shocked when my local pizza place put a sign on the register saying there was now a 3% fee on card usage (which became legal to do as of ~September 2017). Absolutely wild that Visa/Mastercard would raise prices further. It's already hard enough to find a place that accepts my Discover card, let alone an independent joint that will accept Amex (accept for all the places in and around Chinatown who only accept Amex, never will understand how _that_ happened).
