London: Britain will stop companies ranging from takeaway food apps to airlines from charging an extra fee to consumers who want to use credit cards and other payment services, the finance ministry said on Wednesday. The total value of surcharges for the use of debit and credit cards, which have also included fees from government departments, was estimated at £473 million ($617 million; Dh2.26 billion) in 2010, the ministry said. British Prime Minister Theresa May has said she wants her government to do more for “just managing” households who face wage increases that are lagging behind inflation.
