“The cumulative result of rising #swipefees is hampering economic development in our local communities & adding to inflation all to line the pockets of major financial institutions.” #CreditCardCompetitionAct @McConnellPress @Senrandpaul @courierjournal

With Sen. Hawley saying @Visa & @Mastercard engage in “collusive monopolistic behavior,” a recent #CreditCardCompetitionAct #swipefees hearing “showed how political alliances on #creditcard issues can take unexpected turns.” @SenHawleyPress @PaymentsDive

Amid 2025 banking legislation, “Front and center will be what happens with the #CreditCardCompetitionAct.” And with the bill supported by VP JD Vance, “it may indeed come up for debate.” @pymnts #creditcard #swipefees @SenatorDurbin @RogerMarshallMD

With GOP support for the #CreditCardCompetitionAct growing, @SenatorDurbin “has some interesting allies, and that keeps the prospect that the bill could pass very much alive,” prominent #creditcard #swipefees attorney @JeffShinder says. @PaymentsDive

“Wall St. banks shouldn’t force you to take them along as an awkward third wheel in your special moments” like #ValentinesDay. “It’s not fair & it’s time for Congress to pass the “#CreditCardCompetitionAct.” @NRFnews @WeRRestaurants #creditcard #swipefees

The #CreditCardCompetitionAct “has languished” but “that could change this year if the Republican vitriol directed at @Visa and @Mastercard … is any indication.” #swipefees @PaymentsDive @RogerMarshallMD @LindseyGrahamSC @SenThomTillis @SenJohnKennedy

“#ValentinesDay is one of the most popular holidays for loved ones to enjoy a fancy meal out on the town or a romantic meal at home, but #swipefees drive up the cost of everything.” #CreditCardCompetitionAct @NRFnews @WeRRestaurants #creditcard

#Creditcard #swipefees have “gone up dramatically” and “small businesses are really getting crushed,” MPC and @NACSonline’s @doug_Kantor says. @azfamily #CreditCardCompetitionAct @SenMarkKelly @RubenGallego @AuntChiladas @NACSonline @azrestassn

W/ soaring #creditcard #swipefees merchants are “unfairly targeted by huge corporations that are forgetting about how hard it is to make a profit as a small business” @azfamily #CreditCardCompetitionAct @SenMarkKelly @RubenGallego @AuntChiladas @azrestassn

With 80% of the #creditcard market @Visa & @Mastercard “raise fees or implement new fees really at their own discretion" with "no competitive pushback” & “no reason for them to work with retailers" #CreditCardCompetitionAct @FoxBusiness @NRFnews #swipefees

Rising #creditcard #swipefees could cost consumers $621.5 million in higher prices for #ValentinesDay this year. The average $4.27 per shopper equals a greeting card or 2-3 pieces of chocolate. #CreditCardCompetitionAct @NRFnews @WeRRestaurants

#Creditcard #swipefees are "built into the price of virtually everything we buy" & as a percentage of the transaction "really explode in the face of higher inflation," MPC & @NACSonline’s @doug_Kantor says. #CreditCardCompetitionAct @FoxBusiness @NRFnews

With 80% of the #creditcard market @Visa & @Mastercard “use this duopoly power to charge businesses exorbitant #swipefees” & small businesses “are disproportionately harmed by this abusive practice" #CreditCardCompetitionAct @monthly @WilliNorris @business

A $100 million #creditcard #swipefee hike from @Visa “increases the amount of every single transaction, and that really adds up over time,” MPC and @NACSonline’s @doug_Kantor says. #CreditCardCompetitionAct @NBCNews @SenatorDurbin @RogerMarshallMD

“They’re built into the price of everything we buy,” MPC’s @doug_Kantor says of rising #creditcard #swipefees. #CreditCardCompetitionAct @TODAYshow @NBCNews @NACSonline @SenatorDurbin @RogerMarshallMD

“The banking industry wants to extend for as long as possible the status quo in which covered #debitcard issuers are able to have @Visa and @Mastercard fix interchange rates ... at lucrative levels.” #swipefees @PaymentsDive @ABABankers @federalreserve

"The card industry will still collect billions in #swipefees in Ill. alone under this law but it is a key first step in bringing swipe fees under control." #CreditCardCompetitionAct #creditcard @doug_Kantor @NACSonline @ILRetail @GovPritzker @SenatorDurbin

“Members of Congress have made it clear that card industry profits are out of control and leave plenty of room to lower #creditcard #swipefees,” @NACSonline’s @LyleBeckwith says. @jpmorgan @Chase #CreditCardCompetitionAct @SenHawleyPress @Visa @Mastercard

“The #creditcard industry price-fixing #swipefees is bad enough but taking a slice out of tax dollars before retailers can hand them over them to the state of Md. is unconscionable.” #salestax @doug_Kantor @NACSonline #CreditCardCompetitionAct @GovWesMoore

With @SenatorTimScott promising a Banking hearing on the #CreditCardCompetitionAct, “I think with this new cast of members coming in, that the numbers look really good for us to win the vote,” Sen. @RogerMarshallMD says. #creditcard #swipefees @WashTimes
