Last week, Kuoni announced it would increase commission for independents by 0.5% – effective from January for all transactions – as The Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) will prohibit agents from charging fees to customers for the use of debit and credit cards.
This means it will fall to them to cover the costs levied by banks and credit card firms – something Abta has called to be reviewed.
Kuoni’s move follows Aito’s recommendation last month that its operator members pay additional commission when PSD2 is introduced.
