NEW YORK STATE Department of State Consumer Protection Credit Card Surcharge Guidance


NEW YORK STATE Department of State Consumer Protection
Attention To all Business owners
Credit Card Surcharge Guidance
Starting February 11, 2024, there is new guidance for New York State businesses when charging
an additional fee to customers paying with a credit card. (NYS GBS § 518)
What does this mean for New Yorkers?

A business has the option of passing along the actual cost of credit card processing fees as
a surcharge to customers, but they must be transparent by displaying the highest total price
(excluding sales tax).


If you have questions about the law, want to see more examples, or are not sure you are following the law
correctly.
