HB 1780 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 12 (Commerce and Trade) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for transparent payment fees.

HB 1780 amends Pennsylvania's Commerce and Trade laws to require businesses accepting electronic payments to clearly disclose all associated fees to consumers. It directly affects merchants and service providers who process credit/debit card transactions, mandating transparent fee structures. The key provision requires payment processors to list all fees (like interchange, assessment, or processing fees) upfront during checkout or in billing statements. This aims to prevent hidden costs for consumers by making fee information readily available and understandable.
