Visa and Mastercard agree to lower swipe fees
Quick Glance: Settlement between Visa and MasterCard and merchants on antitrust dispute over fees
  • Visa and Mastercard announced a settlement with U.S. merchants related to swipe fees, potentially saving consumers billions of dollars.

  • Swipe fees are paid to credit card companies like Visa and Mastercard in exchange for facilitating transactions, with merchants passing those fees on to consumers.

  • As per the settlement, Visa and Mastercard will cap credit interchange fees until 2030 and must negotiate fees with merchant groups.

  • The settlement stems from a 2005 lawsuit alleging that merchants paid excessive fees to accept Visa and Mastercard credit cards, citing antitrust violations by Visa, Mastercard, and their member banks.

Capital One’s Discover Deal Should Aid Competition
Quick Glance: Democrats Call for Halt to Capital One-Discover Deal
  • Thirteen top Democrats in Congress called on the Biden administration to reject the merger between Capital One and Discover, citing concerns over reduced customer choice and high fees.

  • The proposed merger would create the largest credit card lender in the U.S. by combining Capital One's banking and card businesses with Discover's assets.

  • Under the strong leadership of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Democrats also urged a reevaluation of the government's lenient approach to bank mergers to curb consolidation in the financial industry.

  • The pressure on Capital One and Discover to gain approval from federal regulators highlights the political challenge they face, with Democrats pushing for the merger to be blocked and future harmful deals to be prevented.
