Visa and MasterCard have defended the fee increases, levied mostly on premium cards, saying that they are an essential component of a global system that has provided benefits to consumers and merchants, while covering fraud risks and the cost of float.

LMAO! Looks like they've been listening to adult industry spin masters with that line!
I was writing an article on chargebacks a few months ago and it got stalled. Somewhere I have stats about how much money gets pushed through VISA globally in a minute. It's astounding.
The other stat laying around someplace is the amount of fraud they compute they get. You'd be astounded at that figure too. It's lower than anyone would imagine.
