Smith’s grocery accepting Visa credit cards again

Updated October 30, 2019 - 10:47 am

Visa credit cards are now accepted at all Smith’s locations, according to the grocery chain’s website.

Smith’s stopped accepting the widely used Visa credit cards nearly seven months ago while still allowing customers to use Visa debit cards and other forms of payment. At the time, Smith’s said it was because the financial services firm was charging steep interchange and network fees to the retailer.

“Kroger now accepts Visa credit cards at all our family of stores including Smith’s and Foods Co,” according to an email statement from Aubriana Martindale, Smith’s Food & Drug corporate affairs manager.

Cincinnati, Ohio-based Kroger is the parent company of Smith’s and many other supermarkets and retail businesses.
