Locals should not be penalised, says OFT
A ban on card surcharges comes into effect in the Island today (Saturday).

Office of Fair Trading chairman Martyn Perkins says it’s unfair for an extra percentage charge to be applied and Islanders should not be disadvantaged compared to their UK counterparts.
