| TIANS Supports TIAC & Retail Council of Canada Coalition - Stop Sticking it to Us
TIANS Supports TIAC and the Retail Council of Canada Coalition in the Stop Sticking It To Us campaign against rising credit and debit card fees.
Canada is one of the few industrialized countries in the world that doesn’t regulate credit card fees, which is why they are among the highest in the world and continue to rise. The Stop Sticking It To Us Coalition is a group of Canadian associations led by the Retail Council of Canada and backed by over 120,000 businesses from coast-to-coast that is standing up to the big credit card companies to put a stop to skyrocketing credit card fees. The Stop Sticking It To Us Coalition is actively engaging government to get them to address these troubling trends in the credit card industry and provide solutions for merchants and all Canadians.
The coalition will also be actively involved in the proposed re-structuring of Interac, Canada’s efficient and cost-effective debit system. Interac has applied to the Competition Bureau to re-structure and join the big credit card companies in charging higher fees. Coalition members intend to act as interveners in the process and have pledged to fight to keep Interac from moving ahead with this change as it will be detrimental to merchants and all Canadians.
The Coalition has prepared a series of factsheets that explain the existing structure and proposed changes in greater detail.
