Australian businesses, such as Braddon Flowers, impose card payment surcharges to cover bank transaction fees.

In Australia, businesses including Canberra's Braddon Flowers add a card payment surcharge to cover transaction fees set by banks or financial providers for card payments. These fees can add up quickly for small businesses, costing thousands of dollars. Business owner Lauren King argues that since cash is becoming less common, someone has to pay the processing fees, and she doesn't want it to be her.
