Why is our doctor, dentist and audiologist charging an extra 2% for credit card payments?
The Retail Payment System Act was passed in May 2022.
That legislation was particularly popular in Parliament, passing with the support of every party but Act.
Minister Clark said it was “unfair that retailers, especially small retailers, have been constantly stung with high fees for offering services they need to survive”.
Merchant service fees are the fees paid by retailers to accept credit cards and some debit card payments.
Many shops choose to pass this fee on to consumers for using credit cards or payWave, resulting in higher prices.
It is hoped that this practice will end, or the passed-on fees will be lower, thanks to the legislation.
The cap on credit interchange fees is set at 0.8 per cent, in line with fees charged in Australia.
The legislation also caps fees for online debit transactions at 0.6 per cent.

What historical moment lives on in your memory?
Everyone has at least one world event they’ll never forget. Whether it’s something recent like the pandemic or the passing of the Pope, or something from the past like 9/11 or a World War.
If you're comfortable sharing, let us know where you were when the news broke, and what do you remember most about that moment?
Free - 2 large work tables. Take 1 or both.
Hi again,
Have 2 very sturdy work tables to give away.
Tops are 149cm X 114cm x 39cm high.
Tops are in good condition, Steel frames have some rust that needs addressing with wire brushing off then spraying with something like Rustoleum to make them look new again and stop any further rust.
These came from a Childcare but would be useful in a workshop or maybe for a sewing table perhaps as great size to layout fabric and patterns on. Sure there are a lot of other uses for them.
P.S Legs are extendable so can be taller.
Pick uo in Stanmore Bay or could deliver locally for a little gas money.
Free doors x 2. Good for wardrobe etc
Hi Neighbours,
Have 2 doors free to anyone who can use them.
Sizes are 657mm x 198mm
They have cutouts for hinges but no hinges.
In good condition bar the odd mark which could be fixed with a sand before painting.
Great for a wardrobe or hall cupboard.
Or if you need a workbench top perhaps....
Off to the dump if nobody wants them which seems a waste but we need them gone.
Pick up from Stanmore Bay.
