American Express CFO Dan Henry says the impact of the recent swipe fee settlement on payment network performance will be moderated by two significant factors, according to American Banker.

Second, Henry doesn’t expect many merchants to surcharge even in states where the practice is legal, because the policy is “not consumer friendly.”
