Lenz & Staehelin: Mastercard in interchange fee investigation
The Swiss Competition Commission (ComCo) has opened yesterday an investigation into Mastercard‘s domestic interchange fees for its debit cards. ComCo and Mastercard had previously agreed on an interchange fee level for the market launch phase of Debit Mastercard. Now that the market launch for Debit Mastercard was successful, Mastercard intends to find a long-term solution with ComCo for its debit cards.
