This website provides general information and educational content about the Reserve Bank of Australia's 2026 surcharge reform. Nothing on this website constitutes financial product advice, financial services advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or any other professional advice of any kind. The assessments, calculations, P&L estimates, action plans, and negotiation scripts generated by this tool are illustrative estimates only and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified financial adviser, accountant, payments specialist, or legal practitioner.
Not an AFSL holder

Accuracy of estimates
All dollar figures, percentage savings, P&L impacts, and cost estimates produced by this tool are estimates based on publicly available data including the Reserve Bank of Australia's Conclusions Paper (March 2026), published interchange rate schedules, and average market rates. Your actual financial outcome will depend on factors specific to your business including your actual card mix, transaction volumes, payment provider contract terms, and decisions made by your payment service provider after 1 October 2026. Figures may differ materially from your actual result. nosurcharging.com.au makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of any estimate or calculation produced by this tool.

PSP names, contact details, and rate information are included for informational purposes only. Their inclusion does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement.
Rules and data change
Most of the card surcharging and interchange changes took effect on 1 October 2026; the cap on foreign-issued card interchange starts on 1 April 2027. Some details still depend on decisions by card networks, payment providers and regulators, including the RBA's 2026 review of buy now pay later, American Express and digital wallets. Information on this site reflects our understanding at the date shown and may change.
