交易费用太高？亚马逊将停止接受在英国发行的Visa信用卡
交易费用太高？亚马逊将停止接受在英国发行的Visa信用卡 财联社（上海，编辑 夏军雄）讯，据媒体报道，亚马逊将从明年开始停止接受在英国发行的Visa信用卡支付，原因是Visa信用卡抽取的交易费用过高。 亚马逊以邮件形式向使用Visa信用卡的用户通知了这一变化，该政策将于2022年1月19日起正式实行。 据悉，亚马逊的用户仍然可以使用Visa的借记卡，以及万事达和美国运通等非Visa信用卡。 亚马逊发言人表示，接受银行卡支付的成本阻碍了企业为客户提供最优惠的价格，随着技术的进步，这些成本应随着时间的推移而下降，但恰恰相反，它们依旧很高，甚至在上升。 对此，Visa回应称：“亚马逊威胁要限制消费者未来的选择，我们对此感到非常失望。当消费者选择有限时，没有人是赢家。” Visa补充道，公司与亚马逊有着长期的合作关系，将继续努力寻找解决方案。 信用卡费用是商家、银行以及Visa等支付网络三方之间的热点问题。零售商长期以来抱怨称，他们每年要付出数十亿美元的成本来接受电子支付。近年来，随着信用卡普及度和费用的增加，这一数字还在增长。 Visa去年计划对美国商户接受其信用卡的费率进行大量调整，具体交易费率根据商家和消费者支付方式的不同而有涨有跌。据悉，Visa提高了电商网站的交易费率。
