新西兰计划在2026年5月之前禁止对储存卡付款征收附加费,目的是消除消费者使用无接触费的意外收费。 New Zealand plans to ban surcharges on in-store card payments by May 2026, aiming to eliminate unexpected fees for consumers using contactless payments. 这项禁令定于今年年底通过立法,涵盖使用签证、万能卡和EFTPOS进行的大多数库存交易,但不包括网上采购和外国签发的卡片。 The ban, set to be legislated by the end of this year, covers most in-store transactions using Visa, Mastercard, and EFTPOS but excludes online purchases and foreign-issued cards. 商务部长斯科特·辛普森(Scott Simpson)说,这一行动将使交易更加透明和公平。 Commerce Minister Scott Simpson stated the move will make transactions more transparent and fair.
