Don’t let Visa and MasterCard undo swipe fee reform.
Don’t let them and the big banks hurt small businesses and consumers again.
The MPC needs your help to speak out about interchange fees. The stronger our collective voice, the more we will be heard.
You can help by writing a letter to your Members of Congress urging them to make sure that swipe fee reforms are here to stay.
