Visa, Mastercard Hike Merchant Fees For First Time In 2 Years Just days after cutting off customers in Russia, credit card giants Visa and Mastercard are raising the rates they charge merchants for using their service after suspending price hikes for the last two years because of the pandemic. While paid up-front by businesses, these fees are typically passed along to consumers in the form of higher prices. The fee hikes are expected to kick in next month, according to WSJ''s anonymous sources. So-called "interchange fees" that account for most of the increase are charged when customers use their cards at a merchant''s business. Though shoppers remain mostly ignorant of their existence, these fees are a "constant source of aggravation" for merchants. US merchants paid Visa and Matercard an estimated $55.4 billion in credit-card interchange fees in 2021, more than 2x the amount in 2012, according to the Nilson Report. Merchants pass along at least some of these costs to the consumer in the form of higher prices.
