Payment Card Settlement

Court-Authorized Outreach Program

Resources to help your association members claim their share.

The Payment Card Settlement is a $5.5-billion antitrust class-action settlement that provides some relief for U.S. merchants after years of paying allegedly inflated Visa and Mastercard interchange fees.

The claims period has been extended.

Claim forms went out in the mail to all class members in December 2023. Class members are encouraged to submit a claim to get their share of the court-approved $5.5 billion settlement.

Businesses that accepted Visa and/or Mastercard between Jan. 1, 2004 and Jan. 25, 2019 can claim a share of this settlement.
