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 Rule 23(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.

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

You should consult with a tax professional, as settlement payments may be considered taxable income.

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