Wal-Mart Stores is urging retailers to reject a proposed $6 billion settlement that Visa, MasterCard and major banks have agreed to pay retailers for alleged fee fixing.
The settlement, reached earlier this month, had been considered a victory for retailers. It settled a lawsuit alleging that card issuers conspired to fix merchants' fees for accepting credit cards.
Retailers have long complained about the billions of dollars in "swipe" or "interchange" fees they have had to pay, which average about 2% of the price of a purchase.
