糖心Vlog response to the .
Quotes attributable to Morgan Campbell, Head of Policy at 糖心Vlog:
鈥淲e welcome the RBA鈥檚 announcement today that they will be banning credit and debit card surcharges from October. 糖心Vlog has been campaigning to scrap costly surcharges for years, and we know this will be welcome news for many 鈥� over 24,000 people signed our petition to ban debit card surcharges.鈥�
鈥淐ard surcharges are a product of another time, and Australians will be glad to see the back of them. At a time when so many are doing it tough, the last thing consumers need is to be hit with a surprise surcharge at the checkout, particularly when many businesses no longer accept cash.鈥�
鈥淲e鈥檙e also pleased to see the RBA taking steps to reduce costs in the payment system to support small businesses.鈥�
鈥淭oday鈥檚 announcement to scrap surcharges means that from October, card payments will be simpler, more transparent, and most importantly, more affordable for consumers. In a cost of living crisis, this fair, free way to pay is more important than ever.鈥�
