Credit card swipe fees inflate the prices consumers pay for groceries and gas. Bringing real competition to the credit card network market will help hold these fees in check. That’s why we need the Credit Card Competition Act, which a broad coalition of U.S. businesses support.

Thank you, @RogerMarshallMD for meeting w/ KS merchants to highlight the $900/year impact of #creditcard #swipefees on KS families and for introducing the #CreditCardCompetitonAct! @Visa @Mastercard @SenatorDurbin @KWCH12 @KWCHShawn @NACSonline @AnnaReady https://t.co/Fe2IS7tYUN

Today we release an analysis examining fees that retailers make to payment card networks for processing consumer purchases. Households with income less than $75,000/year collectively transfer over $3.5 billion to those making more than $75,000/year. https://t.co/DjqYRZOkrG

U.S. businesses pay the highest #swipefees in the industrialized world. It’s time for Congress to #FightSwipeflation Thank you @DickDurbin @PeterWelch @RogerMarshallMD @RepBethVanDuyne for your support! >> https://t.co/3DyAAKdGaY <<

Retailers say small businesses are hardest hit by rising credit card #swipefees. https://t.co/uethIREBjs #FightSwipeFlation

#swipefees are the 2nd highest operating cost for convenience stores >> and they’ve gone up 26% in just the last year, per NACS State of the Industry data. We're asking Congress to #FightSwipeflation and bring competition to this marketplace.

Wondering how much Visa and Mastercard have charged in swipe fees since 2006? #FightSwipeflation

The fee that Visa and Mastercard require merchants to pay to credit and debit card-issuing banks is called the interchange fee—and according to CMSPI, Visa and Mastercard have charged U.S. merchants and their customers $794 BILLION in credit/debit interchange fees since 2006.

The struggle these Main Street businesses and their customers face due to swipe fees is reflected across the nation, as further seen by these stories collected by @NACSonline. Action is needed to reduce these inflationary swipe fee pressures and support a more competitive market.

At #IAPP #GPS19, Christine Frye, Bank of America SVP & CPO, says California Consumer Privacy Act’s “GLBA exemption is good” and the financial industry is “really happy.” Will California consumers be happy too when their privacy rights don’t apply to banks? #CCPA #GLBA #privacy
