Deep dives
Visa and MasterCard propose a settlement to control swipe fees
Visa and MasterCard have proposed a settlement to American merchants to cap swipe fees until 2030, potentially saving merchants around $30 billion. The current system involves merchants paying a merchant discount fee to accept card payments, with fees distributed among various entities. Visa and MasterCard's dominance in the market has limited merchants' ability to switch networks and subjected them to rules like the Honor All Cards Rule, affecting their costs and flexibility.
