Does that apply to the payment provider (the services that provide the terminals, etc?)

Or are we just relying on the "free market", which failed until this intervention, to re-price their services now that card fees are lower?

Genuinely curious as I couldn't find the info

My reading of it is that it does. How it is enforced I don't know. I assume the business would need to report someone for over charging them in transaction fees given that we don't see what the fee is.
