According to Mobile PaymentsToday, Visa was planning an overhaul of its interchange fee structure that merchants pay to accept its cards, adjusting its fees for new businesses such as ride-hailing and other app-based services.
The company’s interchange fees will go up or down depending on the merchant and the way a consumer pays for their purchases. Therefore, ecommerce sites will face higher rates, while retailers in certain services categories, such as real estate and education, will see fees decline.
