"The expected  change regarding  the use of Visa credit  cards  on Amazon.co.uk  will no longer take place on January 19," the company said in an email to customers.

"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." 

Amazon (AMZN) said in November it would ban Visa's card because of the high transaction fees charged by the payment processor.

It said customers could still use Visa's debit cards, along with Mastercard and Amex credit cards and Eurocard.

A Visa spokesperson said on Monday: "Amazon customers can continue to use Visa cards on Amazon.co.uk after January 19 while we work closely together to reach an agreement."

Visa had said in November it was "very disappointed that Amazon was threatening to restrict consumer choice".

An EU-enforced cap on fees charged by card issuers is no longer in place in the United Kingdom following Brexit.
