After years of litigation, the final approval for the Visa®/MasterCard® Class Action Settlement (In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation | MDL No. 1720) was issued by the Court on December 13, 2013. Businesses that accepted Visa® or MasterCard® payments between January 1, 2004 and November 28, 2012 may be eligible to recover money from the $5+ billion in funds set aside for participating class members.

The Court approved claim forms are not available yet, and the filing deadline for claim submission has not been announced, but that does not mean you need to wait to take action. You can engage MCAG now to ensure that a proper and timely claim is filed on behalf of your business.

When claim forms do become available, class members are not required to sign up with any third-party service in order to participate in the monetary relief, but may instead file their claim directly with the Class Administrator. The claim form will inform most class members of their actual or estimated interchange fees on which it is proposed their claims will be paid. You may accept or dispute this estimate with the opportunity to submit additional information. No-cost assistance will be available from the Class Administrator and Class Counsel during the claims-filing period. For additional information, class members may visit www.paymentcardsettlement.com, the Court-approved website for this case.
