(c) A treasurer may contract with a bank card or credit card vendor for acceptance of bank or credit cards. However, if there is a vendor transaction charge or discount fee, whether billed to the treasurer or charged directly to the treasurer’s account, the treasurer shall collect from the person using the card an official fee that may not exceed the highest transaction charge or discount fee charged to the treasurer by bank or credit card vendors during the most recent collection period.

The fee is a permitted additional charge under IC 24-4.5-3-202.
