Multinational hospitality organisations trading in the UK and EEA can now join a funded legal claim addressing unlawful multilateral interchange fees (MIFs) charged on Visa and Mastercard transactions.
In June 2025, the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal confirmed that these fees breached Article 101(1) TFEU, establishing firm legal precedent for recovery.
The claim is managed by Hausfeld & Co. LLP, one of Europe’s leading competition litigation firms, and litigation funding is provided by Bench Walk Advisors.
Claimants pay no upfront costs; all legal expenses are covered by the funder and ATE insurance protects against adverse costs.
Successful claimants retain at least 65% of any damages recovered (other than any VAT we are required to charge you).
Eligibility:
Operate in the UK and EEA
Accept Visa or Mastercard payments across both regions (UK and EEA)
Annual card turnover more than €50 million (€25 million for charities)
Registration closes 16 January 2026
