Amazon will stop accepting payment via Visa credit cards from 19th January in the UK, the online retail giant has announced.
“Starting 19th January 2022, we will unfortunately no longer accept Visa credit cards issued in the UK, due to the high fees Visa charges for processing credit card transactions,” Amazon UK customers were told in an email.
“We have a long-standing relationship with Amazon, and we continue to work toward a resolution, so our cardholders can use their preferred Visa credit cards at Amazon UK without Amazon-imposed restrictions come January 2022.”
Regardless, Visa credit cards will continue to be accepted until 19th January – through Black Friday and Christmas.
