After banning Visa credit card payments at 2,700 Visa stores, US retailer Visa is now threatening to expand the ban to the main brand, numbering over 26 stores. Kroger CIO Chris Hjelm has warned that the dispute could escalate, with the ban spreading to the company's main brand, which has more than 2700 stores. Kroger 's primary complaint is unreasonable interchange fees. Other major credit cards will remain unaffected, along with Visa debit cards. Visa has said it wants to cooperate with Kroger to reach a solution.
