What are the surcharge rules?

Surcharge programs are still new and the compliance around them can be a complicated thing. This has kept many businesses from understanding the many benefits of surcharge programs. Its time to change that!

What you need for compliance

  • You need to be registered with the major card brands
  • You need to inform your customers about the surcharge
  • The fee can’t exceed 2.4%
  • The receipt must show the fee and the price as separate items
  • You can’t surcharge debit cards (on a percentage basis).
  • Properly inform your customers about the surcharge program

How Rescue helps

  • We register everything for you
  • We give you all of the signage you need in the Rescue Kit
  • We add the fee to the transaction automatically. No calculations for you and your employees
