RBA surcharge ban · from 1 October 2026

Since 1 October, every card fee is yours.

Venues can no longer add a surcharge to eftpos, Visa or Mastercard payments. Your processor still charges its fee, so now it comes out of your margin. Work out the number below, then see how FillTables moves it into your prices.

Your real rate is on your last card statement.
Card fees you now carry
$7,200
a year, from your margin
Card sales a month$40,000
Fees a month$600
Price rise that covers it1.2%

An example only. Your rate and card mix are on your processor statement. The price rise spreads the fee across everything you sell, cash included, which is how the FillTables repricing tool works it out.
