As customers continue to turn away from using cash, businesses say credit card fees are hampering their margins. On Wednesday, a bill to allow businesses to charge customers paying with cards for those fees moved out of committee with a favorable recommendation from senators.

The measure has support from restaurant owners who say credit card fees are a growing portion of their expenses since 2020.

DETROIT - One of Michigan’s largest utilities will soon start tacking on a fee when customers pay gas and electric bills with credit or debit cards. Beginning March 2, DTE Energy’s residential customers will pay a $2.99 per transaction fee, while commercial customers will be charged $9.99 per card payment.

Several local residents have reportedly seen recent credit card charges from "Wingstop 728" on their accounts—even if they've never eaten there.

You can stop bleeding interest on credit card debt with one of these cards, allowing you to transfer a balance and not pay interest for as long as 24 months.
