Visa, Mastercard and major banks face new antitrust lawsuit over fees

Original: Visa, Mastercard, major banks facing new litigation over 'anticompetitive' fees

The suit adds to longstanding legal pressure over interchange and swipe fees, which retailers argue inflate costs passed on to consumers. The companies have historically denied wrongdoing in similar cases.
