A surcharge is a small fee added to credit card purchases to help cover processing costs. With Transnet’s surcharge program, merchants can recover part of these costs in a fully compliant way.

Surcharges apply only to credit cards, not debit or prepaid cards, and are clearly disclosed at checkout and on receipts. Transnet handles setup, compliance, and ongoing support making it easy to reduce processing expenses, keep customers informed, and avoid costly card-brand fines due to non-compliance.
