One of the first surveys regarding the impact of debit interchange regulation on merchants has been conducted by Internet Retailer and the results may surpise you.

“The survey results suggest that many online retailers are still unaware about the debit card changes, and others are reluctant to influence how consumers pay. 39.6% of respondents said they didn’t know debit card fees were going down; a further 43.2% said they have no plans to encourage more debit card spending on their retail sites, while 17.1% will take steps to lower their costs by encouraging debit card payments.“
