By Associated Press,
NEW YORK — Visa, MasterCard and
major banks agreed to pay retailers at
least $6 billion to settle a long-running
lawsuit that alleged the card issuers
conspired to fix the fees that stores
pay to accept credit cards. As part of
the settlement, announced late Friday,
stores from Rite Aid to Kroger will be
allowed to charge customers more if
they pay using a credit card.The pact, which is being called by
lawyers involved in the case the
largest antitrust settlement in U.S.
history, is seen as a major victory for
merchants that have long complained
about the billions of dollars in so-
called “swipe” or “interchange” fees
that they pay to banks for purchases
made using plastic. But at a time
when shoppers increasingly are using
credit and debit cards, merchants will
face a dilemma: Whether to charge
shoppers extra for using plastic, and if
so, how to do so without angering
them.
