Episode 258 - Giving the Green Light to Surcharging, with Emily Tsitrian, Yeeld
As legal and regulatory restrictions have become relaxed in recent years, we’ve been noting the increasing prevalence of surcharges on payment cards here in the U.S. Perhaps it was inevitable that the practice would become more commonplace in our market, which is known around the world for relatively high rates of card interchange and a relatively light touch in financial services regulation. Surcharging is a tricky issue with a lot of different stakeholder perspectives to consider. In this episode, Emily Tsitrian, co-founder of Yeeld, joins Bryan Derman and Drew Edmond to share industry insights on this emerging practice and how businesses can best implement surcharging while staying compliant.
