I think that retailers should have the right to make information about fees public. People need to know what the fees are and have enough information to manage things properly. These are major costs. This is not just about consumer choice, about figuring out which card to use. Retailers need to be able to properly manage the available methods of payment. That is key. We want transparency for consumers, but if we do not have the information, the problem will persist. We have to be involved in the information process too.
