Why your bank can't stop scams alone — and what needs to change.

Fraud detection was built on one core assumption: keep consumers out of it. Detect threats invisibly, in the background. For decades, it worked. In 2026, it no longer does.

Personal finance writer Danielle Antosz says the soaring #swipefees banks charge merchants to process #creditcard transactions are the reason more small businesses are surcharging for credit card use: “Payment costs are rising, and small businesses are looking for ways to protect already-thin margins. Credit card processing fees may look small on paper — typically 2% to 3% of each transaction — but they add up fast.”
The #CreditCardCompetitionAct would solve the problem by ending @Visa and @Mastercard’s duopoly on processing.

By using regulatory action to try to block Illinois’ ban on #creditcard #swipefees on sales tax and tips, the OCC is “prioritizing the bottom line of banks and credit card companies over meaningful relief for businesses and consumers,” Illinois Retail Merchants Association President and CEO Rob Karr says.

Banks claim “there’s no workable technology” to comply with Illinois’ ban on #creditcard #swipefees on sales tax and tips but Illinois Restaurant Association President Sam Toia doesn’t buy that: “I have every faith banks can flip the software. We’re in 2026, so figure this out.”

🔐 How security concerns are still keeping some consumers on the sidelines
📉 Where access gaps are limiting instant payment uptake
