What are the surcharge rules?
Surcharge programs are still new and the compliance around them can be a complicated thing. This has kept many businesses from understanding the many benefits of surcharge programs. Its time to change that!

What you need for compliance
- You need to be registered with the major card brands
- You need to inform your customers about the surcharge
- The fee can’t exceed 2.4%
- The receipt must show the fee and the price as separate items
- You can’t surcharge debit cards (on a percentage basis).
- Properly inform your customers about the surcharge program
How Rescue helps
- We register everything for you
- We give you all of the signage you need in the Rescue Kit
- We add the fee to the transaction automatically. No calculations for you and your employees
- Our receipts show the breakdown (on both the physical terminal and the virtual one)
