[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 15 points 1 week ago (2 children) Best part is all these payment methods, including checks incur the same processing fees since 2006 with the Check21 regulations. This made all transactions - debit card, check, transfer, function the same way through the same processing. So a check genuinely costs them more - from not charging thebfee, to requiring at least some manual oversight. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago Oh I didn't know that, checks it is! Fuck these bozo's right!?! permalink fedilink source parent [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 point 6 days ago (1 child) Is that true in the US? Where I come from, card payments have a fee that the merchant has to pay, but bank transfers are free and instant. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 1 point 6 days ago* Yup! The bakery where I buy my coffee on occasion has their menus listed with two prices.. The card prices are 4% higher. So an item that is priced at 7 bucks cash is listed as $7.28 for card. Makes me so glad that I have never signed up for a card. Over 60 with NO credit rating.. delightful. permalink fedilink source parent
