Jostling for advantage in the – for once – changing world of payment processing must be the prime reason for Woolworth’s slap this month at those pervasive brands, MasterCard, and Visa.
Woolworths yesterday announced that it will reroute all debit card payments originating in its supermarkets and other outlets for processing along the Eftpos network used for all other bank-issued debit cards in Australia. At present these transactions are routed through the processing network of each of MasterCard and Visa. For Woolworths’ customers the shift in approach means they will lose the option of pressing the “credit” button on the payment terminal, which is what building societies and credit unions and more recently banks have coached customers with scheme debit cards to do. The customer will have to make a (redundant) choice between the savings and cheque payment buttons on the terminal. The change takes effect in two weeks time.
