The lawsuit was filed by the National ATM Council and independent operators of automated teller machines.

The suit says that this price-fixing artificially raises the price that consumers pay using ATMs, limits the revenue that ATM operators earn, and violates the <a href="/wiki/Sherman_Antitrust_Act" title="Sherman Antitrust Act">Sherman Act</a>'s prohibition against unreasonable restraints of trade. Johnathan Rubin, an attorney for the plaintiffs said, "Visa and Mastercard are the ringleaders, organizers, and enforcers of a conspiracy among U.S. banks to fix the price of ATM access fees in order to keep the competition at bay."<a href="#cite_note-ATM-47">[47]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Oceania">Oceania</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mastercard&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Oceania">edit</a>]</div> In 2003, the <a href="/wiki/Reserve_Bank_of_Australia" title="Reserve Bank of Australia">Reserve Bank of Australia</a> required that interchange fees be dramatically reduced, from about 0.95% of the transaction to approximately 0.5%.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] One notable result has been the reduced use of <a href="/wiki/Loyalty_program" title="Loyalty program">reward cards</a> and increased use of debit cards.

Members of the <a href="/wiki/European_Parliament" title="European Parliament">European Parliament</a> expressed concern that payments from European citizens to a European corporation could apparently be blocked by the United States and called for a further reduction in the dominance of Visa and Mastercard in the European payment system.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> In 2013, Mastercard was under investigation by the European Union for the high fees it charged merchants to accept cards issued outside the EU, compared to cards issued in the EU, as well as other anti-competitive practices that could hinder electronic commerce and international trade, and high fees associated with premium credit cards. The EU's competition regulator said that these fees were of special concern because of the growing role of non-cash payments. Mastercard was banned from charging fees on cross-border transactions conducted wholly within the EU via a ruling by the European Commission in 2007.<a href="#cite_note-Euro-53">[53]</a> The European Commission said that their investigation also included large differences in fees across national borders. For instance, a €50 payment might cost €0.10 in the Netherlands but eight times that amount in Poland. The Commission argues that Mastercard rules that prohibit merchants from enjoying better terms offered in other EU countries may be against antitrust law. The <a href="/wiki/The_European_Consumer_Organisation" class="mw-redirect" title="The European Consumer Organisation">European Consumer Organisation</a> (BEUC) praised the action against Mastercard. BEUC said interbank fees push up prices and hurt consumers. BEUC Director General Monique Goyens said, "So in the end, all consumers are hit by a scheme which ultimately rewards the card company and issuing bank."<a href="#cite_note-Euro-53">[53]</a> In January 2019, the European Commission imposed an antitrust fine of €570,566,000 on Mastercard for "obstructing merchants' access to cross-border card payment services", due to Mastercard's rules obliging acquiring banks to apply the <a href="/wiki/Interchange_fee" title="Interchange fee">interchange fees</a> of the country where a retailer was located. The Commission concluded that Mastercard's rules prevented retailers from benefitting from lower fees and restricted competition between banks cross border, in breach of <a href="/wiki/European_Union_competition_law" title="European Union competition law">EU antitrust rules</a>. The infringement of antitrust rules ended when Mastercard amended its rules due to the entering into force of the Interchange Fee Regulation in 2015, which introduced caps on interchange fees. The Commission did grant Mastercard a 10% reduction of the fine however, in return for Mastercard acknowledging the facts and cooperating with the antitrust investigation.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> In February 2021, following an investigation by the British <a href="/wiki/Financial_Conduct_Authority#Payment_Systems_Regulator" title="Financial Conduct Authority">Payment Systems Regulator</a>, Mastercard admitted liability for breaching competition rules in relation to pre-paid cards.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Other_issues">Other issues</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mastercard&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Other issues">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="United_States_internet_gambling_transactions">United States internet gambling transactions</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mastercard&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: United States internet gambling transactions">edit</a>]</div> Mastercard, Visa, and other credit cards have been used to fund accounts since <a href="/wiki/Online_gambling" title="Online gambling">online gambling</a> began in the mid-1990s.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> On March 20, 2000, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_District_Court_for_the_Eastern_District_of_Louisiana" title="United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana">United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana</a>, reviewed motions in Re: MasterCard International Inc. regarding multi-district litigation alleging Mastercard illegally interacted with a number of internet casinos.

This was despite an increasingly intense regulatory environment, and it followed rival company <a href="/wiki/Visa_Inc." title="Visa Inc.">Visa</a> stopping its agreement with <a href="/wiki/FTX" title="FTX">FTX</a> in November 2022. The company said its Mastercard Crypto Credential service would allow for transactions between countries that met requirements like so-called "travel rule" by the <a href="/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force" title="Financial Action Task Force">Financial Action Task Force (FATF)</a>, using technology from CipherTrace. It also worked with wallet providers Bit2Me, Lirium, Mercado Bitcoin, and Uphold.
