    Visa and Mastercard urge court to approve swipe fee settlement

    Visa and Mastercard filed a joint response with the court, urging approval of a swipe fee settlement involving more than 12 million merchants. The final approval hearing is scheduled for November 16. The agreement would reduce credit card interchange fees by 10 basis points, set a 1.25% rate for standard consumer cards, and allow merchants to decline some high-fee Visa and Mastercard premium and commercial credit cards. Walmart and several merchant groups oppose the proposal, while Visa and Mastercard said the objections repeat arguments the court previously rejected.

    推荐理由：The filing presents the settlement’s rate adjustments, merchants’ right to decline some high-fee cards, and the main opposing parties, helping explain the litigation’s impact on merchant costs and card network rules.
