Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Settlement

1:05-md-01720 US District Court, Eastern District of New York

This summary is based on MCAG’s review of publicly available documents. The Court granted the settlement final approval on December 13, 2019. 

​

Overview

The Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation ("Settlement") claims that merchants paid excessive interchange fees for accepting Visa and MasterCard because of an alleged conspiracy among the Defendants. The Court granted final approval of this Settlement on December 13, 2019, and will establish a claims process whereby eligible merchants will be able to claim their share of the billions in settlement funds.  

 

What is Interchange?

Interchange is a fee paid by a merchant's bank (also known as the acquiring bank) to the cardholder's bank (the issuing bank) to compensate the issuing bank for a portion of the risks and costs it incurs.

 

Do You Qualify?
