3 Easy Steps
The Visa and Mastercard settlement addresses claims that these companies, together with their member banks, violated antitrust laws by setting excessive interchange fees. It provides compensation to merchants who accepted Visa or Mastercard payments from January 1, 2004, to January 25, 2019, as a result of these practices.
The amount you will receive from the settlement fund is based on your actual or estimated interchange fees from Visa and Mastercard transactions between January 1, 2004, and January 25, 2019. Your payment depends on several factors, including:
- The total funds available for distribution.
- The overall dollar value of all valid claims submitted.
- Costs associated with class administration, notice, and applicable taxes.
- Attorneys' fees and related expenses.
- Money awards granted to the Rule 23(b)(3) Class Plaintiffs for their role in representing merchants in MDL 1720.
Your business's claim amount will be based on factors such as the volume of Visa and Mastercard transactions processed during the eligible period, as well as the terms outlined in the settlement. Generally, businesses with higher transaction volumes may receive a larger settlement award.
If you owned multiple eligible businesses, you need to file separate claims for each one. Each claim must be submitted individually.
