Key Points:

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Piedmont Advantage Credit Union (PACU) cautions businesses that process debit card payments as credit card transactions to not surcharge their customers as federal law prohibits this practice.
When debit card payments are processed as credit card transactions, entering a four-digit personal identification number or PIN is bypassed and a signature may be required.
The differentiator is whether the customer used a debit card or a credit card at the point of sale," Williams said.
Because of the aforementioned Durbin Amendment, Visa and Mastercard prohibit surcharging customers who pay by debit card, so debit card surcharges will violate the agreement the business has with Visa and Mastercard.
