The Fallout From a Credit Card Shake-Up
A proposed settlement between Visa and Mastercard and merchants on swipe fees promises savings, but it may also alter the economics of premium credit cards.

proposed class-action settlement could have wider consequences, including for the lucrative business of high-end credit cards — and for retailers.
What’s in the settlement: Visa and Mastercard said on Tuesday that they had agreed to reduce swipe fees, costs associated with the use of a credit card, for about five years. Lawyers for merchants who had brought the case estimate that this could save about $30 billion worth of fees.
Perhaps more important, merchants will be able to raise their prices based on the kind of card. For example,
buying groceries with a higher-fee card — typically a premium card like the Chase Sapphire Reserve — could become more expensive than paying with a lower-end one.
fiddle with rewards programs to keep users hooked, but the business probably won’t be as profitable as it once was.
Retailers will face a choice. They will have the freedom to charge more for the use of rewards cards, but will they want to annoy customers?
The proposed change “makes the merchants the tax collector for the charges — and it makes merchants the bad guy in the eyes of the consumer,” Doug Kantor, general counsel for the National Association of Convenience Stores, told The Times. (Some merchants may end up swallowing the costs.)
Expect further pressure on the credit card industry. Some analysts say the settlement allows smaller retailers to band together to negotiate with card issuers. And Senator Dick Durbin, the Illinois Democrat who has long fought to rein in swipe fees, will most likely press forward with legislation that would impose
more competition upon Visa and Mastercard.
