Scottsdale, Arizona – In a brave move reminiscent of the David and Goliath story, MiCamp Solutions (MiCamp) is challenging the industry giant, Visa. MiCamp's bold initiative aims to revolutionize an industry dominated by Visa through innovation and strategic vision. Despite Visa's dominance, MiCamp is confident that Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) will ultimately prevail.
The lawsuit, filed by MiCamp, outlines how Visa and its network of banks have allegedly conspired to create a scheme that adversely impacts both ISOs and merchants. The complaint highlights Visa's purported attempts to conceal its exorbitant interchange fees while allegedly intimidating ISOs from offering their programs by imposing fines related to vaguely defined rules.
The legal action was initiated by Global Legal Law Firm, which boasts the largest team of payment experts, attorneys, paralegals, and professionals in the United States. Global Legal hopes that Visa will swiftly acknowledge any wrongdoing, put an end to its alleged anti-competitive practices, and permit ISOs, which are the lifeblood of the industry, to continue serving and supporting their customers.
A compelling example of MiCamp's claims against Visa revolves around an Arizona Merchant that provided customers the option to waive fees associated with different card types. These fees were meant to fund after-school programs benefiting underprivileged individuals in search of healthier food choices. MiCamp Solutions faced fees exceeding $70,000, with Visa attributing these charges to the non-compliance of the Arizona Merchant.
Following MiCamp's appeal of the $70,000 in fees, alleging non-compliance, Visa purportedly initiated secret shopper visits to more than 1,800 merchants, which MiCamp believes was an act of retaliation. Subsequently, these merchants' details were published online for competitors to access, which led to the extraction of data and private information from MiCamp's merchants. This data allegedly fell into the hands of competitors who attempted to blackmail MiCamp Solutions into paying $5 per merchant to prevent it from being sold to other competitors—an offer that MiCamp claims it did not accept.
In October 2023, MiCamp initiated contact with Visa through a formal legal demand letter. The purpose behind this communication was to seek comprehensive information regarding Visa's definitions and policies regarding non-compliance. MiCamp's intention was twofold: to gain a clearer understanding of Visa's stance and to enlist Visa's support in preventing the alleged resale of their compromised data. Unfortunately, as reported, Visa did not respond to this crucial demand letter.
MiCamp's lawsuit marks a significant turning point in the ongoing narrative of the payment industry, potentially carrying far-reaching implications for ISOs, merchants, and consumers. It serves as a poignant testament to MiCamp's unwavering dedication to championing equitable and transparent business practices within the industry. MiCamp Solutions, through their MiCamp Cares program, has played a pivotal role in preserving businesses, contributing to savings exceeding half a billion dollars since the onset of the pandemic. Each October, Visa's rate hikes have been a challenging factor, pressuring businesses that already grapple with the economic climate and inflation, making it increasingly difficult for them to sustain their operations.
