[U.S. Judge Rules: Visa Must Face New Class Action Lawsuit Over Debit Card Monopoly] According to a report by Jinse Finance, U.S. Federal District Judge Brodie in Brooklyn, New York, has ruled that the $5.6 billion settlement reached in 2019 over swipe fees does not apply to a new case accusing Visa (V.N) of monopolizing the debit card market. While the two sets of cases have overlaps, the facts in the new case "differ substantially" from the earlier one. Brodie's ruling pertains to a lawsuit filed by merchants against Visa last October, which contains allegations similar to those in a case filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in Manhattan federal court the previous month. Brodie's decision means that Visa will likely have to face antitrust lawsuits brought by both the federal government and private businesses in the coming years.
