L&S secures long-term safe harbor for Mastercard

Last June, the Swiss Competition Commission (ComCo) launched an investigation into Mastercard’s domestic card-present interchange fees for its Debit and Maestro debit card products. In the meantime, Mastercard has been able to reach an agreement with ComCo that provides for a long-term safe harbour for these debit card interchange fees.
