If your business accepted Visa or MasterCard payments between January 1, 2004, and January 25, 2019, you could be entitled to a portion of a multi-billion-dollar settlement. This settlement is the result of an anti-trust lawsuit alleging that merchants were overcharged for interchange fees. However, time is running out to file a claim. The deadline to submit is February 4, 2025.
Comfort Profit Consulting is here to help businesses navigate the claim process and recover the funds they are owed. If you haven’t yet filed, now is the time to act before this opportunity disappears.
What Is the Visa/MasterCard Anti-Trust Settlement?
This class-action lawsuit was brought against Visa and MasterCard on behalf of millions of businesses that accepted credit card payments. The lawsuit alleged that Visa and MasterCard, along with major banks, conspired to charge excessive interchange fees—also known as “swipe fees”—on credit and debit card transactions.
After years of legal battles, the courts approved a $5.54 billion settlement to compensate merchants who paid these fees. Businesses of all sizes—from small local shops to large corporations—may be eligible to receive a portion of this settlement.
Who Is Eligible to File a Claim?
Your business may be eligible if:
✅ You accepted Visa or MasterCard payments between January 1, 2004, and January 25, 2019
✅ You paid interchange fees (commonly included in your credit card processing fees)
✅ You have not already opted out of the class-action lawsuit
If you meet these criteria, you can submit a claim to receive compensation. Even if you are no longer in business or no longer accept credit card payments, you may still be eligible if you processed transactions during the qualifying period.
How Much Money Could Your Business Receive?
Payouts are expected to be between 1% and 2% of your total Visa and MasterCard credit card transactions during the covered period. For businesses that process high volumes of credit card payments, this could translate into thousands—or even millions—of dollars in recovered funds.
The exact amount will depend on:
- The total number of claims filed
- The volume of transactions your business processed
- Any adjustments made during the settlement distribution process
Despite the significant funds available, less than 15% of eligible businesses have filed claims so far. This means that many businesses are leaving money on the table simply because they are unaware or uncertain about the process.
Why Haven’t More Businesses Filed?
Many eligible businesses have not yet filed a claim due to:
🚫 Lack of Awareness – Some businesses simply don’t know they are eligible.
📄 Confusion About the Process – Business owners may assume filing a claim is complicated or time-consuming.
🕒 Procrastination – With the deadline still months away, some businesses are waiting—but time is running out.
The reality is that filing a claim is straightforward, and Comfort Profit Consulting is here to make the process even easier.
