A new poll suggests the public's on board with the Government's proposed ban on card surcharges, just as the proposed law has been put on hold.

Consumer NZ Campaign Manager Jessica Walker told Heather du Plessis-Allan that there is a middle-ground for both parties to settle on.
"Too many surcharges are excessive or just not disclosed or unavoidable. So there would need to be some really firm caps in place to stop consumers being ripped off."
