The Visa and Mastercard settlement is an agreement to address claims that these companies engaged in unfair practices with debit & credit card transactions, like setting high fees and limiting competition. The goal of the settlement is to offer compensation to merchants who were aJected by these practices.

Fill out the form on our website, and within 1-5 weeks you will receive an email with your potential claim amount. We specialize in identifying settlement opportunities and guiding our clients through the claims process. Our expertise covers preparing the necessary documentation, negotiating with claims administrators, and ensuring our clients receive the full compensation they’re entitled to.

The amount of your business award will be determined based on several factors, including the volume of Visa and Mastercard transactions your business processed during the eligible period and the specific details of the settlement. The more transactions you had, the higher your potential award might be.

The amount paid from the settlement fund will be based on your actual or estimated interchange fees attributable to Visa and Mastercard card transactions (between you and your customers) from January 1, 2004, through January 25, 2019. The amount of money each Authorized Claimant will receive from the settlement fund depends on the money available to pay all claims, the total dollar value of all valid claims filed, the cost of class administration and notice, applicable taxes on the settlement fund and any other related tax expenses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and money awards to the Rule23(b)(3) Class Plaintiffs for their representation of merchants in MDL 1720, which culminated in the Class Settlement Agreement, all as approved by the Court.

No payments are expected to be made until after the end of the Claims Period onFebruary 4, 2025. Because the pro rata cannot be determined until all Claims are filed and reviewed and until the Court approves the final amounts, we do not yet know whenpayments will be made. Please be patient.

The deadline to file a claim is February 4, 2025. File a claim now to see if you qualify.

We do not provide any tax or legal advice. You should consult with a tax professional, as settlement payments may be considered taxable income.

The funds are distributed based on the volume of transactions processed by each claimant and the number of claims filed.

You can file claims for each eligible business, but each claim must be filed separately.

No, this is a legitimate settlement approved by the courts. See the court documents on the settlement administrator website for insight and feel free to contact me directly withany questions. I can set up a call with one of our managing partners if you would like.

The settlement is valued at $5.6 billion.

Any U.S. business that accepted Visa or Mastercard payments between 2004 and 2019 is eligible to file a claim.

The final payout depends on the total number of claims submitted and the amount your business paid in fees. It will be a pro-rata share of the $5.6 billion fund.

No minimum or maximum has been set; the payout will depend on the total claims filed and your business’s share of the fees.

If your business accepted Visa or Mastercard payments at any time between 2004 and 2019, you are eligible.

They can sign up online through our service or directly with the settlement administrator.

There are no upfront costs. Our service is contingency-based, meaning we only get paid if their claim is successful.

We simplify the process, help them avoid errors, and handle any issues that may arise with the claim administrators. By doing this themselves, they risk not receiving anything from the settlement if they mess up their submission or cannot resolve issues.

Payments will be issued after February 4, 2025, once the class administrators have processed all claims.
