Amazon has announced that it will not stop accepting Visa credit cards for UK payments later this week as had been planned as the two companies seek to resolve a dispute.

In an email to customers, the online retailer said it was “working closely with Visa on a potential solution”.

The move had been due to take effect on 19 January with Amazon blaming “high fees Visa charges for processing credit card transactions” when it was announced last November.

Amazon’s latest message to customers did not say that the dispute had been resolved for good.

But it said: “Should we make any changes related to Visa credit cards, we will give you advance notice.”

Visa also released a brief statement, saying: “Amazon customers can continue to use Visa cards on Amazon.co.uk after January 19 while we work closely together to reach an agreement.”
