- 09:42Visa and Mastercard to reach settlement with US merchants to lower credit card payment feesBlockBeats News, November 9, according to The Wall Street Journal, Visa and Mastercard are about to reach a settlement with U.S. merchants, ending a legal dispute that has lasted for two decades. According to the settlement agreement, the credit card payment fees charged to merchants will be reduced, and merchants will be given greater autonomy in choosing credit card services.
