Amazon has announced that payments by Visa credit cards issued in the United Kingdom will no longer be accepted to pay for an order over the internet from January 19, 2022.
To explain its decision, the web giant explains, in a statement released Wednesday, November 17, that the fees charged by the payment services company are too high. The company founded by Jeff Bezos has affirmed its ambition to "promote faster, cheaper and more inclusive payment options".
"These costs should decrease over time, as technologies advance, but the costs remain high or even increase" laments the Seattle-based company.
VISA IS "VERY DISAPPOINTED"
Visa's reaction was quick on Wednesday. The company said it was "very disappointed" in a statement, but said "continue to work" with Amazon to resolve this dispute. “When consumer choice is limited, no one wins,” Visa explained in its response.
However, some payment methods will not be affected by this announcement. In an email addressed to its customers, the American juggernaut specified that Visa debit cards or credit cards provided by Mastercard, Amex and Eurocard would still be usable after January 19.
