There are fears that retailers will wear the cost of scrapping payment surcharges.
The Government will ban the added fees for most in-store card payments, including paywave.
Hospitality NZ Head of Advocacy Sam MacKinnon says ultimately customers were always allowed to avoid the surcharges by paying in a less convenient way.
He told Mike Hosking more work needs to be done on the issue.
McKinnon says it's actually about the fees banks charge to accept payment.
