enators challenge visa and mastercard on high fees and market dominance

Senators from both parties questioned Visa and Mastercard executives during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the companies" alleged duopoly and high interchange fees, which cost merchants over $100 billion in 2023. The proposed Credit Card Competition Act aims to enhance competition by requiring banks to offer alternative payment networks, while Visa and Mastercard defended their fees as necessary for fraud prevention and service costs. Critics argue that high swipe fees ultimately lead to increased prices for consumers, with the retail industry advocating for greater transparency and fairness in the payment system.

Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
