Visa, Mastercard, and member banks were accused of anti-competitive interchange fee practices. The settlement resolves those claims for merchants who accepted their cards January 1, 2004 – January 25, 2019. ### What's an interchange fee? Roughly 1–2% of each card transaction. For most merchants, it's the largest fee they pay. ### When do checks arrive? The first partial distribution was approved October 30, 2025. Payments continue through 2026 as appeals resolve. ### Can I still file? No. The window closed February 4, 2025. Anyone claiming otherwise is misleading you. ### What can Mitena do now? Track your distribution, audit your claim value, or buy your claim so you're paid today. --- ## What happens after a settlement closes (full text) # What happens after a settlement closes _The path from final approval to checks in hand._ After a settlement closes, four things happen in order: appeals resolve, the court approves a distribution plan, the administrator calculates each claimant's pro-rata share, and checks go out in waves. Final approval is the start of that second process, not the end, and it is where most of the waiting happens. First come appeals. Any objector can challenge the settlement, and a pending appeal freezes the money. In the Visa/Mastercard interchange case, the court granted final approval in December 2019 and the Second Circuit affirmed on May 4, 2026, with en banc petitions still pending. That gap is normal, not a warning sign. Next comes distribution approval. The administrator asks the court to bless a plan: who gets paid, on what data, and in what order. Courts often approve a first partial distribution before every dispute is resolved, so money can start moving. That's what happened on October 30, 2025 in the payment card settlement. Then comes the pro-rata calculation. Funds are divided by each claimant's share of the class, based on the transaction data on file. Your recovery depends on the total fund, the number of valid claims, and the quality of the records supporting your claim. Thin records get reduced. Clean, audit-ready records don't. Finally, payment waves. Administrators rarely pay everyone at once. Checks roll out in tranches as data is validated and reserves are released, which is why two businesses in the same settlement can be paid months apart. What you can control is narrow but real: keep your claim data clean, confirm the administrator has current payment details, and know where your claim sits in the queue. If waiting isn't workable, qualifying businesses can sell a claim and take cash now instead of a future distribution. If you're not sure where your claim stands, we can find out and tell you plainly. --- ## Is my payment card settlement check coming? (full text) # Is my payment card settlement check coming? _For merchants who filed before February 4, 2025._ If your business filed a payment card claim before February 4, 2025, your claim is in the distribution queue. Here's what that means and what moves the timing. The facts, in order. The court granted final approval in December 2019. The claims-filing window closed February 4, 2025. The court approved the first partial distribution on October 30, 2025. The Second Circuit affirmed the settlement on May 4, 2026, with en banc petitions pending. Distribution checks are rolling out through 2026. So yes — payment is in motion. The $5.54 billion merchant fund is being distributed, not litigated from scratch. What affects your timing. Appeals come first: unresolved petitions can hold back portions of the fund. Data quality comes second: if your transaction records are incomplete or conflict with the processor data on file, your claim takes longer to validate. Wave order comes third: administrators pay in tranches, and a clean claim in an early tranche lands well before a disputed one. What doesn't affect it. Calling the administrator more often. Paying anyone to "expedite" a claim. Filing again — the window is closed, and no legitimate service can file this claim for you now. What we can do. We track your distribution against the docket so you know where you actually stand. We audit your claim value against your own transaction history, because under-documented claims get paid short. And if the timeline doesn't fit your cash flow, we can buy the claim so you're paid today rather than on the court's schedule. Fifteen minutes with our team is usually enough to answer the question you actually have: when, and how much. --- ## Selling a claim vs. waiting (full text) # Selling a claim vs. waiting _How claim purchases work, and when they make sense._ A class action claim is an asset. Like any asset, you can hold it or sell it, and the right answer depends on what your business needs from it. Holding means waiting for distribution. You keep the full upside of whatever the court and the administrator ultimately pay. You also accept the timeline, and that timeline is measured in years. Final approval, appeals, distribution approval, pro-rata calculation, payment waves — each step is out of your hands. Selling means trading a share of future recovery for certainty and speed. A buyer takes on the timing risk, the appeal risk, and the validation risk. You get cash now, at a discount to the expected distribution. The claim moves; your business doesn't wait. When selling fits. Cash flow matters more than maximum recovery. You'd rather deploy money this quarter than book an uncertain amount later. You don't want the administrative load of monitoring a docket for years. Or the claim is one line item in a larger balance-sheet cleanup. When waiting fits. Your claim is large, clean, and well documented. The distribution is already approved and moving. You have no pressing use for the cash, and the discount costs more than the delay. How the process works with us. We review the claim and its supporting data, price it against where the settlement actually stands on the docket, and make a bid. If you take it, the transfer is documented and you're paid. If you don't, nothing changes and your claim stays yours. Either way, you should know what your claim is worth before you decide. Ask us for a bid and compare it against waiting. --- ## Why most eligible businesses never file (full text) # Why most eligible businesses never file _The gap between eligible and paid, and how to close it._ Most eligible businesses never file because nobody is watching for new settlements, the claim looks like more work than it is worth, real notices get mistaken for scams, and deadlines pass quietly. The money is real and most of it goes unclaimed: filing rates in consumer classes run in the single digits. Businesses aren't different in kind, just in scale. A merchant that qualifies for an antitrust settlement often never files, and the reasons repeat. Nobody's watching. New antitrust settlements open every quarter. Notices arrive by mail or email to an address that may be years out of date, land in a shared inbox, and get filed under "probably junk." No one on staff owns the job of tracking which settlements a company qualifies for. The claim looks like work. Class notices are written for lawyers. Proving eligibility means pulling years of transaction data out of systems that have since been replaced. Faced with an uncertain payout and a certain hassle, most teams do nothing. It looks too good to be true. Real settlements get mistaken for scams, partly because scams imitate them. The instinct to ignore anything promising money is usually healthy and occasionally expensive. The deadline passes quietly. Windows close on a fixed date with no second chance. The payment card claims window closed February 4, 2025, and it is closed permanently. The fix is unglamorous: monitoring plus audit-ready filing. Someone watches every settlement that could touch your business, flags the ones you qualify for before the deadline, and builds a claim your records can support. That's the entire job, and it's the difference between eligible and paid. That's what we do. If you'd rather not build it in-house, our filing partners already run it at scale. --- ## How interchange fees became a $5.54 billion case (full text) # How interchange fees became a $5.54 billion case _The short history of the merchant interchange settlement._ Every time a customer pays with a card, the merchant pays an interchange fee — roughly 1 to 2% of the transaction. For most businesses that accept cards, it's the largest fee they pay, and it's set by parties the merchant never negotiates with. That's the heart of the case. Merchants alleged that Visa, Mastercard, and their member banks engaged in anti-competitive interchange fee practices — setting fees collectively and imposing rules that kept merchants from steering customers toward cheaper payment methods. Consolidated as MDL 1720 in the Eastern District of New York, it became one of the largest antitrust class actions in U.S. history. The class period runs from January 1, 2004 through January 25, 2019. If your business accepted Visa or Mastercard during that window, it was part of the class. The court granted final approval in December 2019, resolving those claims for a $5.54 billion merchant fund. Then the process everyone underestimates began: notice, claims, objections, and appeals. The claims-filing window closed on February 4, 2025. That date is permanent. No legitimate service can file this claim for you now, and anyone who says otherwise is misleading you. On October 30, 2025, the court approved the first partial distribution — the point at which the case stopped being litigation and started being payment. On May 4, 2026, the Second Circuit affirmed the settlement, with en banc petitions still pending. Distribution checks are rolling out through 2026. So the case that began as a fight over a fee of a percent or two is now a distribution exercise across millions of merchants. If you filed, your claim is in the queue and can be tracked, audited, or sold. If you didn't, the useful move is watching the next wave — new antitrust settlements open every quarter. --- ## How to read a class notice (full text) # How to read a class notice _Five checks that tell you whether a notice matters to you._ Class notices are written to satisfy a court, not to be read. Five checks will tell you almost everything you need in a few minutes. 1. Who's the administrator. Every legitimate settlement has a court-appointed administrator and a court-approved website. Find that name and that URL in the notice, then go to the site directly rather than following a link someone forwarded you. No-cost assistance is available from the administrator and class counsel during the claims-filing period. You never have to pay anyone to participate. 2. What's the class period. This is the date range that defines eligibility. In the payment card settlement, it's January 1, 2004 through January 25, 2019. If your business didn't transact during the stated window, the notice doesn't apply to you. If it did, you're in the class whether or not you ever heard of the case. 3. What's the deadline. Claims windows close on a fixed date and do not reopen. The payment card window closed February 4, 2025. Put the date on a calendar the day the notice arrives, because the gap between notice and deadline is where most eligible businesses quietly lose their claim. 4. What data do they already have on you. Many settlements are built on the defendants' own records, so the administrator may already hold your transaction history and a pre-calculated estimate. Check whether you need to submit data or simply confirm it. Where you can supplement with your own records, do — better documentation supports a larger pro-rata share. 5. What happens if you do nothing. Notices always state the default. Usually doing nothing means you stay in the class, give up the right to sue separately, and receive nothing because you never filed. That's the worst combination available, and it's the most common outcome. If a notice lands and you're unsure, send it to us. We verify against court filings before we advise anything. --- ## Mitena Partners | Turn class action claims into capital (page text) # Turn class action claims into capital Your logo, your clients, our engine.

If you want to look at it first, the settlement tracker on this site is the member view. Who does the filing work? We do. You make the introduction; we handle intake, eligibility review, filing, member questions, and payment. Your team does not build filing operations, staff a support queue, or track dockets. That is the engine you are licensing, and it runs under your name. What does it cost members to participate? Members are not asked to fund the program up front. Recovery work is paid out of what gets recovered, so a member who never gets paid is not left carrying a bill. We walk through the exact structure for your organization on the call, since program terms are set per partner. How do new settlements reach our members? New antitrust settlements open every quarter. We watch them, flag the ones your members qualify for before the deadline, and push the alert out under your brand.
