Dear CFA Members,

As previously reported, last year the U.S. Court of Appeals approved the biggest antitrust class-action settlement in history and set aside about $6 billion for U.S. merchants who paid artificially inflated Visa and Mastercard interchange fees. As a result, Coalition of Franchisee Associations members who accepted Visa and/or Mastercard at any time between Jan. 1, 2004, to Jan. 25, 2019, may be entitled to a share of the settlement.

As an update, the court granted an extension of the claims filing deadline from May 31, 2024, to Aug. 30, 2024.
