About the Settlement
The "Visa/MasterCard Interchange Fee Class Action Settlement" claims that merchants paid excessive interchange fees for accepting Visa and MasterCard due to 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 can claim their share of the billions in settlement funds.
If your business accepted Visa or MasterCard payments any time from January 1, 2004 to January 25, 2019, you may be eligible to recover significant funds from this Settlement. The claim forms are not yet available, and a filing deadline has not been announced, but MCAG will prepare your information in advance and submit a proper and timely claim on your behalf as soon as the claim process opens.
