Acculynk Gains Access to China UnionPay Debit Cardholders

Nineteen major retailers are exercising their options to opt out of the proposed antitrust settlement with Visa and MasterCard. Included in this decision to opt-out are Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Gap Inc., Lowe’s , Costco Wholesale Corp., and Nike. Merchants opting out are giving up their share of the proposed $7.25 billion settlement and are signaling their belief they can obtain higher individual rewards.

From Bloomberg:

K. Craig Wildfang, an attorney for plaintiffs in the case, said the announcement by Wal-Mart and others wasn’t surprising.

“These merchants have been publicly critical of the settlement, and we always thought that many of them were likely to opt out,” said Wildfang, of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi LLP. “We remain confident that the vast majority of merchants in the class will not opt out.”

The National Retail Federation said today it will formally oppose the settlement because it gives the card companies “legal blessing to continue their abuse of merchants and consumers indefinitely.”

Most observers do not feel these opt-outs are likely to derail the overall settlement, as these merchants do not collectively represent 25% or more of Visa/MasterCard volume. A hearing on final approval of the settlement is currently scheduled for September 12.
