flag Visa and Mastercard near settlement to lower fees and let merchants reject high-fee credit cards.

flag Visa and Mastercard are nearing a settlement with merchants that could reduce credit card interchange fees by about 0.1 percentage points over time and allow retailers to reject high-fee credit cards, particularly premium rewards cards. flag The proposed agreement, reported by The Wall Street Journal, would ease long-standing rules requiring merchants to accept all cards if they accept one, giving businesses more control over payment options. flag The deal aims to resolve a legal dispute dating back to 2005 and follows a prior $30 billion settlement. flag While details remain under negotiation, the change could lower costs for retailers and reshape payment industry practices.
