Payment by debit or credit card is accepted as a means of payment for all services charged to customers by my Department. In 2012, the average charge per card transaction was 0.79%. A total of €1,070.06 was paid to the service provider in 2012 which included terminal rental charges. None of the charges accrued to my Department.
