Amazon has reversed a decision to ban customers from using UK Visa credit cards on its website.
The online retailer had been expecting to introduce the Visa ban from this Wednesday, (January 19) after previously telling customers that the card company's fees were too high.
But Amazon said on Monday: "The expected change regarding the use of Visa credit cards on Amazon.co.uk will no longer take place on January 19."

They continued: "We are working closely with Visa on a potential solution that will enable customers to continue using their Visa credit cards on Amazon.co.uk."
A Visa spokesperson added: "Amazon customers can continue to use Visa cards on Amazon.co.uk after January 19 while we work closely together to reach an agreement."
Amazon did not rule out a future ban.
The website previously said it has made the decision due to "the high fees Visa charges for processing credit card transactions".
Amazon customers reported on Twitter that they had started to receive emails from the retailer, which confirmed they could continue using their cards as they do today and advance notice would be given if any changes related to Visa cards were made.
One Twitter user, Amy, wrote: "I wasn't going to get a new credit card but use it as another incentive not to use them."
Rebecca said: "Ended up getting an Amex with plan to use that instead on Amazon, but it's now given me a card that has much better cashback (didn't realise cashback on old Visa had ended) so worked out for me in the end."
Jeremy said: "I received an email too. Presume Amazon told Visa it would miss out on millions of transactions, so now they are working on a compromise, the change is postponed."
