Kroger's battle with Visa is escalating

Kroger, the largest supermarket chain in the US, is ending Visa credit card acceptance at 21 of its Foods Co supermarket subsidiaries and five gas stations in California, effective August 14.

The stores will still accept Visa debit cards.

The companies have been engaged in an ongoing battle over interchange fees, which are charged to merchants each time a customer makes transactions using a credit card.

Kroger sued Visa in 2016 over debit card transactions, after Visa said that the retailer's EMV-enabled terminals didn't comply with Visa regulations.
