Visa & Mastercard Interchange Fee Settlement | |
|
Chamber members are advised to act now to see if they are entitled to a portion of the pending $5.54 billion Visa/Mastercard Interchange Settlement. The settlement stems from a class action antitrust lawsuit alleging that the credit card companies overcharged interchange fees on merchants accepting credit card payments.
Merchants that accepted Visa or Mastercard payments at any time from January 1, 2004 to January 25, 2019 may be eligible to recover funds from this settlement. To take part in the settlement, impacted merchants MUST FILE A CLAIM via the court-approved settlement portal at www.paymentcardsettlement.com. The deadline for filing a claim is set for May 31st.
The process for checking eligibility and filing a claim on the portal is simple and straightforward. Merchants that have received a Claim Form by mail from the Class Administrator may use the Claimant ID included in the document to start the claims process. Merchants that have not received a Claim Form by mail, may look up their eligibility on the portal using their federal Taxpayer Identification Number.
