surcharging
Imposing extra charges
Surcharging is adding an extra fee to a standard price, typically to cover specific costs or discourage certain payment methods.
Merchants engage in surcharging when they add fees for credit card payments: The gas station is surcharging three percent for credit.
The term also applies in legal contexts to holding a fiduciary personally liable for improper management of funds.
