For IATA Members:

 

  - From July 1, 2011, no commercial facilities and outlets can levy a surcharge on consumers using credit cards.

     A violation of the new stipulation can lead to a fine up to Dh 100,000. The Ministry of Economy had recently asked the retailers in the country to stop charging additional fees on credit-card usage, effective from next month.

     Consumers have been asked to defend their rights and file complaints when they see violations of their rights.

 

  - ATTAC has completed joint venture with eNett International. They are the leading innovative, integrated payment solutions, tailored to meet the needs of the travel industry. This world class solution includes card processing, domestic and international electronic fund transfer, merchants services and the issuing of virtual cards for instantaneous account settlement. This best-of-breed-web-based technology allows access as an independent system or via an array of integrated platforms that deliver booking to back office automation and reconciliation. For further information, kindly contact our office.

 

For All ATTAC Members:

 

     Due to our continuous efforts to safeguard the interests of our members, we have concluded an agreement with NETWORK INTERNATIONAL to reduce the Visa – Master Credit Card fees to 1.60%. Above special offer is valid only for NETWORK INTERNATIONAL credit card machines. Such substantial fees reduction will be of great saving to you and to your customers in case tickets are purchased through Visa – Master cards. Due to the above special offer, you are now permitted not to collect the credit card fees from the customers.
