This week, the Senate may have an opportunity to vote on the Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA), but securing this vote is an uphill battle. That’s why we need you to take two minutes to tell your senators why this legislation is important to you. This critical legislation would lower the exorbitant swipe fees you pay to process credit card transactions. If passed, CCCA would save businesses and consumers an estimated $15 billion a year.
