Why You Need MCAG as Your Navigator
Settlements like this can be time-consuming and difficult to navigate.

With MCAG by your side, you can trust us to manage the entire process, saving you time and ensuring you recover the funds you deserve with minimal effort on your part.
Settlement Overview
Discover Financial Services has agreed to a settlement of up to $1.09 billion, addressing allegations of misclassifying "Consumer" credit card transactions as "Commercial" accounts. This resulted in higher interchange fees for businesses, many of which were unfairly overcharged for years.
Who’s Eligible?
If your business accepted Discover card transactions between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2023, you could be eligible to claim part of this settlement. The settlement applies to:
End Merchants: Businesses directly accepting Discover cards.
Merchant Acquirers: Entities facilitating Discover credit card transactions.
Payment Intermediaries: Entities processing Discover transactions on behalf of merchants.
With over 11 million Merchant IDs (MIDs) impacted, it’s crucial to check if your business is affected. MCAG will do this for you, ensuring your claim is accurate and submitted on time.
Proposed Settlement Claim Filing Deadline: October 22, 2025
