Card payments are on the rise... Reduce fees with Dynamic Surcharging

The pandemic has impacted many businesses and we’ve seen a shift in the way they were once operating. During the pandemic, many businesses implemented contactless card payment methods exclusively, to keep staff and customers safe. This has stuck and continued in popularity with some venues still only accepting card payments and questioning the need for cash all together.

The Guardian reports a cashless society draws closer with only one in six payments now in cash. There is a clear preference for card payments rather than physically accepting and counting notes and coins in businesses.

ABA Chief Executive Anna Bligh said while debit card usage has been increasing over the last decade, it has been accelerated as a result of the pandemic.”
