Violations Alleged Against Visa
Visa, along with several of its executives, stands accused of failing to disclose crucial information during the defined Class Period, thus violating federal securities laws. Notably, on September 24, 2024, the Justice Department filed a suit against Visa, citing multiple violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The allegations assert that Visa has leveraged its monopoly in the payment processing market to hinder competition, thereby harming both consumers and smaller payment processors.
