Debit & Credit card Surcharge Fees

Brian from Mount Roskill

How many times you enter any shop & purchase anything & you choose to pay by card as it is easier than cash. I do via my debit card which is my own money not even via a credit card, anyway as it is safer, gives you a acknowledgment of a receipt of what you have spent & you always have a tally of where your money for that day has gone. What I always like to do is many times check the receipts against your bank statement & you find out that most shops end up charging you a surcharge fee for using a card payment option. I find this isn't fair, as many shops these days also don't except cash.

If a shop wants to make business, isn't it up to the shop to wear the surcharge? How do you feel on this? A few cents here & their it adds up over time.

Bad as the banks. Your receipts many never match up to your bank due to the surcharge & many shops don't tell you either.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
