[$$] Mastercard, Visa Propose Cutting Fees for European Merchants
European Union regulators said Tuesday Mastercard Inc. and Visa Inc. have agreed to lower fees assessed to merchants when they accept debit or credit cards issued outside the region, a move that comes after merchants alleged that networks and banks colluded to inflate those fees. The European Commission said both companies made offers to lower these fees—known as interregional interchange fees—by a minimum of 40%. Card networks like Visa and Mastercard set interchange fees.

Square stock posts worst single-day performance in more than a year
Shares of Square Inc. dropped 11.7% in Tuesday trading, marking the payments stock's largest single-day percentage decline since November 2017, when it fell 16.1%. The drop shaved about $3.5 billion from Square's market value, which now stands at roughly $26.7 billion, according to FactSet. Late on Monday, Stifel analyst Scott Devitt cut his price target to $95 from $100, though he maintained his buy rating on the stock. The stock closed at $63.51. Other payments stocks lagged the S&P 500 in Tuesday trading, including Mastercard Inc. , whose shares fell 4.5% after the company issued a filing regarding its resolution to a European interchange issue and also announced a dividend increase. Visa Inc. shares ended down 4.4%, while PayPal Holdings Inc. shares fell 4.3% and the S&P 500 dropped 3.2%.

Mastercard boosts dividend shortly after announcing new European interchange resolution
Mastercard Inc. announced Tuesday that it was boosting its quarterly dividend to 33 cents a share, up from 25 cents a share previously. The company also said that it has received board approval for a new share-repurchase program that will allow it to buy back up to $6.5 billion of its Class A shares, which will become effective after the company's prior $4 billion repurchase program is complete. The dividend announcement didn't help Mastercard's stock much, as shares are down roughly 4% in afternoon trading Tuesday amid a general market selloff and a early-morning filing from Mastercard that discussed inter-regional interchange fees in the European Union. Mastercard said it would reduce the interchange fees on cross-border transactions coming into European Economic Area companies to 0.2% for debit and 0.3% for credit, for card-present transactions. The company said it would lower card-not-present, or e-commerce, interchange fees to 1.15% for debit and 1.5% for credit. Mastercard also said it would pay a $650 million fine in the fourth quarter related to this issue. "The issue appears to be resolved voluntarily, eliminating the risk, cost, and distraction of outstanding litigation, and even the potential negative impacts to the networks are modest," MoffettNathanson analyst Lisa Ellis wrote Tuesday. Mastercard shares have gained 33% so far this year, while Visa Inc. shares have risen 22%. The S&P 500 is up 1.4% in that time.

Visa, Mastercard offer to cap tourist card fees to end EU probe
Visa (V.N) and Mastercard (MA.N) have offered to cap the fees charged on card payments made by tourists in the European Union to stave off fines and end an EU antitrust investigation. The European Commission, which has waged a decades-long crackdown on payment and credit card fees, says so-called interchange fees in which the merchant's bank pays a charge to the cardholder's bank, result in higher prices for consumers. Visa, the world's largest payments network operator, and its closest rival Mastercard have proposed a 0.2 percent fee on non-EU debit card payments carried out in shops and a 0.3 percent fee on credit card payments, the Commission said on Tuesday.
