Inside the Beltway, a battle has been raging for close to a decade pitting retailers against America’s credit card companies, better known as Visa V -0.38%, MasterCard MA +0.00% and American Express AXP +1.43%. The fight has occurred on different fronts ranging from cyber-security to interchange fees, the fees retailers pay to allow customers to use credit cards.
