It would not affect most of us since we use Amazon Gift Cards for Bill Paymnents and Recharges.

 

[VISHESH_BANSAL]

No, it's free

It was Free.

Ek jaega dusra aayega

 

[Hemang]

So now to avoid amazon convenience fees, we should load the amazon gift voucher and then pay using amazon pay or directly using billdesk pay wallet option.

I don’t see insurance in this list, is it excluded?

 

[panu24]

I don’t see insurance in this list, is it excluded?

Maybe because Credit cards already not allowed as payment method for insurance payments.

Politics politics khelna hai toh new thread bana k karo woha. Amazon dusre countries me bhi bahut bar 1.5% conv fee laga chuka hai card transactions par.

Anyway, this is a nice move. Akhir Amazon kab tak high MDR fee pay karega.

Bas umeed hai baki fintech players bhi Amazon se kuch sikhe.

Amazon bahut losses jhel raha hai.

Takle ke pas bohut paisa hai

 

[350modena]

It was Free.

While this may soon become applicable on using Amazon pay balance for bill payments, i feel it would defeat the purpose with which amazon pay started. There is already ASV for shopping hence I feel APV may continue to be free.
However, buying APV for free may get affected soon.
