The Austin Bar Board of Directors approved a proposal to being collecting a surcharge of 3.0% on all credit card payments through the ABA merchant account beginning on August 15, 2025. This includes membership dues, events, and contributions to the foundation and sections. The Board set this charge at a level that is below our processing fee, so that we will not be profiting from this policy change.
 
Members who wish to avoid this fee have the option to pay via ACH, debit card or check.
