Tue, 20 May 2025 Millions of consumers could get £70 after Mastercard ruling

It is not necessary to have held a Mastercard to make a claim following a tribunal ruling.
To be eligible, consumers must have lived in England, Wales or Northern Ireland for at least three months between June 1997 and June 2008, and bought goods or services from UK businesses that accepted Mastercard credit cards. Those living in Scotland must have lived there for at least May 1992. The entire settlement is worth £200m, with £100m ringfenced for consumers who can claim until the end of this year. If 5% of eligible individuals (approximately 2.5 million people) come forward to claim, they will receive £45 each. However, if fewer people apply, payments will be capped at £70 per claimant. Consumers can register to receive a payout by completing an online form.
