If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 21, 2025.

If you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 21, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
CASE DETAILS: According to the Complaint, Case No. 3:24-cv-08220, VISA processes and facilitates debit and credit card transactions. Both businesses and consumers utilize its services. This lawsuit was filed against Visa and three of its Officers.
The Complaint alleges Defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Visa was not in compliance with federal antitrust laws; (2) Visa did not have effective internal programs and policies to assess and control compliance with federal antitrust laws; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.
During the evening of September 23, 2024, after the market closed, multiple news outlets (among them Bloomberg and Politico) reported that the DOJ planned to imminently file suit against Visa for antitrust violations. Before the market opened the next day, on September 24, the DOJ filed the reported suit, styled United States of America v. Visa Inc., 1:24-CV-07214, (“the Antitrust Complaint”) in the Southern District of New York, alleging four separate violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act. 34. Per the Antitrust Complaint, Visa’s dominance in the debit payment processing market is not a happy accident or the result of a superior offering; rather, it is the product of a litany of baldly anticompetitive actions designed to prevent smaller competitors from gaining market share and competing with Visa on the merits.
On this news, Visa’s stock price fell $1.48, or 5.38%, to close at $26.03 per share on September 24, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume. As a result, plaintiff and the Class have suffered damages.
NO COST TO YOU: No Recovery, No Attorney’s Fees, No Costs. We represent you on a fully contingent basis. There are no fees or costs to you for your participation in the lawsuit if the lawsuit is unsuccessful.
