I have received some great questions/ concerns from retail business owners who are part of a large buying group I work with. They want to know the legalities of charging a "surcharge" to their customers. Many states are ok with this and many are not. To be crystal clear, I have posted this link that will take you directly to Visa's page regarding this topic as well as a FAQ

Let me know if there are any other topics of interest you would like me to post. I have access to many resources regarding the Payment Card Industry and would be happy to assist any business owner with useful information to help their business

Stay tuned for more and please provide me some feedback if you feel this was a helpful post.

thanks

Michael
