North Dakota merchants sue Federal Reserve over debit card fees

KVRR Local News April 29, 2021 NEW YORK – Two trade groups representing businesses in North Dakota filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Federal Reserve, asking the agency to lower its 10-year-old cap on “swipe” fee banks charge to process debit card transactions.
