As of October 24, Walmart in Winkler will be one of the 16 locations in Manitoba no longer accept Visa credit cards.

In a release, Walmart Canada explains following an evaluation of credit card transaction fees, they felt Visa fees were "unacceptably high," adding they pay over $100 million in credit card fees each year, and hope to lower that cost.

The stores will continue to accept Interac debit, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

"We sincerely regret any impact this will have on our customers who use Visa," the release states, adding they hope to eventually reach an agreement with Visa.
