    I believe a lot of car dealers are pushing people towards bank transfers, which would mean they don't need to take cards which charge fees.

    Of course, no-one is going to be paying for a set of mats or a service with a bank transfer, so the service department would still have a card machine.
    Hi

    Apols if I misread your post.

    We paid thousands via debit card for new cars, AFAIK, debit cards dont attract fees. Are you saying some do, please?

    Many thanks :)


    Yes they do attract fees.  All of them do.
