Visa / Mastercard Interchange Settlement
Against Visa Inc. & Mastercard Inc.
Businesses that accepted Visa or Mastercard between 2004 and 2019 could recover a share of interchange (swipe) fee overcharges. The filing window has closed — but already-filed claims can be monetized and late claims may still be possible.
About this settlement
In re Payment Card Interchange Fee & Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation (MDL 1720) — one of the largest antitrust settlements in U.S. history, ~16M+ eligible merchants. Merchants that accepted Visa- or Mastercard-branded cards during the class period were allegedly charged inflated interchange fees; recovery is based on your business's payment card sales volume. The claim deadline was February 4, 2025. If you already filed, ClaimBridge can help you monetize or track your claim; if you didn't, we assess whether a late claim is possible.

- You have not already released these claims individually.
