Retail Groups Welcome Court Ruling Striking Down Debit Fee Cap

Original: FMI, Merchants Welcome Court Ruling Striking Down Debit Swipe Fee Cap

A court has struck down the cap on debit card swipe fees, and the Food Marketing Institute along with merchant groups have welcomed the decision. The ruling removes a regulatory limit on the fees retailers pay banks when customers pay by debit card, a long-running point of contention between merchants and card issuers over the cost of accepting electronic payments.

Why now: The ruling changes payment costs for retailers and banks, a dispute merchants have pushed for years.
