Sinn Fein Foyle MLA Martina Anderson
Speaking ahead of the Assembly debate, Foyle MLA Martina Anderson said: “Credit and debit card companies are using Brexit to push up transaction fees on purchases from EU based companies.
“This move would see more money going to big banks while ordinary people and small businesses pay the price.
“If this goes ahead, people in the north could end up paying more for hotels and events in the south.
“It’s absolutely ridiculous.
“Sinn Féin’s motion is about standing against this rip-off and ensuring that workers, families and businesses don’t pay the price of Brexit.
“I would encourage MLAs to back Sinn Féin’s motion on Monday and help stop this credit card rip-off in its tracks.”
