As of Jan. 19, Amazon told British customers in an email, it will stop accepting the cards "due to the high fees Visa charges for processing credit card transactions." It added that U.K.-issued Visa debit cards will still be usable, as will Mastercard, Amex, and Eurocard cards.
"The cost of accepting card payments continues to be an obstacle for businesses striving to provide the best prices for customers," Amazon said in its own statement. "These costs should be going down over time with technological advancements, but instead they continue to stay high or even rise."
