Consumers use their cards more and more often to pay for goods and services, including low- value payments, which until now were dominated by cash. The number of retailers that accept credit cards on the domestic market is also rising steadily. The development of this market is determined by many factors. One of them is the cost of accepting payment cards. This issue was clearly highlighted for the first time on the Polish market in the proceedings carried out by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (OCCP) at the request of the Polish Trade and Distribution Organisation with regard to the application of competition restricting practices, consisting in the conclusion of pricing agreements and setting the interchange fee, an essential component of the merchant's fee, jointly by banks associated in Visa and MasterCard card issuers association. The decision made by the President of the OCCP on 29 December 2006 recognised the practice consisting in banks' participation in the agreement restricting competition in the market for acquiring services through joint determination of the interchange rates as a practice restricting competition and prohibited its use. This dispute, following an appeal by banks and organisations, has not been resolved until today, however the problem of high merchant fees remains. Dissatisfaction among merchants because of the fees increased when the requirement to publish interchange rates had been imposed on payment organisations. It was also reflected during parliamentary debates on the act on payment services. Large retailer associations demanded that changes be made to the act which - in the opinion of the NBP - could restrict the development of cashless transactions in Poland. The Payment Systems Department, fulfilling such basic functions of the National Bank of Poland as the organisation of monetary clearing (pursuant to Article 3(2)(1) of the Act on the National Bank of Poland of 29 August 1997 - Journal of Laws of 2005 No. 1, item 2, as amended), oversight of payment systems in Poland (in accordance with the Act of 24 August 2001 on Settlement Finality in Payment and Securities Settlement Systems and the Rules of Oversight of these Systems - Journal of Laws No. 123 item, 1351, as amended) and oversight of authorisation and clearing systems operated by acquirers other than banks (in accordance with the Act on Electronic Payment Instruments of 12 September 2002 - Journal of Laws No. 169, item 1385, as amended), prepared a report presenting an analysis of the interchange fee functioning for cashless transactions in the market of payment cards in Poland against other European Union countries.

  • Summary of the 21St Meeting of the Contact Group on Euro Payments Strategy (Cogeps)
    CONTACT GROUP ON EURO PAYMENTS STRATEGY (COGEPS) 15 March 2010 SUMMARY OF THE 21ST MEETING OF THE CONTACT GROUP ON EURO PAYMENTS STRATEGY (COGEPS) held on Wednesday, 28 October, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Hotel Crowne Plaza Brussels – Le Palace, Rue Gineste 3, 1210 Brussels, Belgium. Summary of the previous meeting The COGEPS members took note and approved the summary. 1. Retail payments issues 1.1 Cards a) ECB’s presentation Mr Tur Hartmann (Eurosystem) pointed out that a lot had already been achieved with regard to the creation of an integrated market for cards. However, there were still some issues remaining that needed to be addressed. In particular, the SEPA Cards Framework needed to become more detailed and there was a need to develop a Card Transaction Processing Framework. Furthermore, the rules of some individual schemes were still hampering the creation of an integrated cards market, and the separation between card scheme and processing entity needed to be enforced. He pointed out that it might be worthwhile for the three new card initiatives on the European market to consider joining forces. Claude Brun (Vice-Chair of the European Payments Council (EPC), Chair of the EPC Cards Working Group) stressed that the EPC’s role as far as cards were concerned was to promote standards. By no means would the EPC hamper new initiatives relating to cards. Mr Brun pointed out that in the cards business it was necessary to take a global perspective. Looking only at Europe could lead to the creation of a mini-SEPA.
