Finkelstein Thompson LLP and Lovell Stewart Halebian Jacobson LLP Announce A Proposed Class Action Settlement If You Withdrew Cash From A Non-Bank ATM Between October 24, 2007 and August 14, 2026

Finkelstein Thompson LLP and Lovell Stewart Halebian Jacobson LLP

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

Withdrew Cash from a Non-Bank ATM and were Assessed a Surcharge?

You Could Get Money From a $167.5 Million Settlement.

Records show you could be affected by a proposed $167.5 million Settlement in a class action lawsuit with Visa Inc., Visa U.S.A. Inc., Visa International Service Association, Plus System, Inc. ("Visa"), and Mastercard Incorporated and Mastercard International Incorporated d/b/a Mastercard Worldwide ("Mastercard"). The lawsuit claims Visa and Mastercard violated antitrust laws when they created operating rules that prohibited independent automated teller machine ("IATM") operators from charging different ATM surcharges (also called access fees). IATM operators were not allowed to "discount" or charge cardholders a lower access fee if transactions could be processed on competing networks that cost less than the Visa or Mastercard networks. Therefore, cardholders paid higher access fees to use IATMs than they should have. Visa and Mastercard deny the claims in the lawsuit and that they did anything wrong.

What are the related lawsuits?

This notice is about the case known as Burke v. Visa Inc., No. 1:11-cv-01882 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. You may have received notices about two other related (or parallel) lawsuits in the same court called Mackmin v. Visa Inc., No. 1:11-cv-01831 and National ATM Council v. Visa Inc., No. 1:11-cv-01803 that are proceeding at the same time. Each case involves different groups with similar claims. The choices class members make in this case will not affect their rights in the other related lawsuits.

Am I included?

Generally, you are included in the Nationwide Class if you are in the United States, were charged a surcharge (or access fee) to withdraw cash from your deposit account using an ATM or pin-debit card at an independent ATM located in the United States (including its territories) between October 24, 2007, and August 14, 2026, and were not fully reimbursed by your bank. You may also be part of the Statewide Classes for California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Michigan. You may be able to get money from this Settlement. Visit the website, www.NonbankATMSurchargeSettlement.com, for more information and the full class definition.

What does the Settlement provide?

Visa will pay $88,775,000 and Mastercard will pay $78,725,000 into a Settlement Fund. After deductions for attorneys' fees, litigation costs, and other expenses; notice and administration costs; and service awards, the Settlement Fund will be distributed proportionally (or pro rata) to each valid claimant.

How can I get payment?

Submit a claim form online or by mail postmarked by February 10, 2027.

What are my rights?

Even if you do nothing, you will be bound by the Court's decisions. If you want to keep your right to sue Visa and Mastercard yourself, you must exclude yourself by December 11, 2026. If you do not exclude yourself, you may object to the Settlement by December 11, 2026. Details on how to request exclusion or object are available at www.NonbankATMSurchargeSettlement.com.

The Court will hold a hearing on February 17, 2027, to consider whether to approve the Settlement, a request for attorneys' fees of up to 30% of the Settlement Fund, reimbursement of costs and expenses, and service awards up to $17,500 for each of the class representatives. You or your own lawyer may appear and speak at the hearing at your own expense.

As soon as the incident was discovered, MMR took the steps referenced above. It also implemented several measures to reduce the risk of similar future incidents.

On September 10, 2026, MMR mailed notice of this incident to potentially impacted individuals for which it had identifiable address information.

Finkelstein Thompson LLP 和 Lovell Stewart Halebian Jacobson LLP 公布拟议集体诉讼和解方案：涉及 2007 年 10 月 24 日至 2026 年 8 月 14 日期间在非银行 ATM 提款的人士

News provided by

华盛顿2026年9月10日 /美通社/ --

您是否曾在非银行 ATM 提款，并被收取附加费？

您可能有资格从总额为 1.675 亿美元的和解金中获得赔偿。

相关记录显示，您可能受到一项总额为 1.675 亿美元的拟议集体诉讼和解方案的影响。本次和解涉及 Visa Inc.、Visa U.S.A. Inc.、Visa International Service Association、Plus System, Inc.（合称“Visa”），以及 Mastercard Incorporated 和以 Mastercard Worldwide 名义开展业务的 Mastercard International Incorporated（合称“Mastercard”）。该诉讼指控，Visa 和 Mastercard 制定运营规则，禁止独立自动取款机（IATM）运营商收取不同金额的 ATM 附加费（亦称使用费），违反了反垄断法。根据这些规则，即使交易可以通过成本低于 Visa 或 Mastercard 网络的竞争网络处理，IATM 运营商也不得向持卡人提供“折扣”或收取较低的使用费。诉讼称，这导致持卡人在使用 IATM 时支付的使用费高于应有水平。Visa 和 Mastercard 否认诉讼中的指控，并否认存在任何不当行为。

有哪些相关诉讼？

本通知涉及哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院 (United States District Court for the District of Columbia) 审理的 Burke v. Visa Inc. 案，案号为 1:11-cv-01882。您可能还收到过同一法院同期审理的另外两起相关（或平行）诉讼的通知，分别为 Mackmin v. Visa Inc. 案（案号：1:11-cv-01831）和 National ATM Council v. Visa Inc. 案（案号：1:11-cv-01803）。各案涉及的群体不同，但诉讼主张相似。诉讼集体成员在本案中作出的选择，不会影响其在其他相关诉讼中的权利。

我是否属于本次诉讼集体？

一般而言，如果您身处美国，曾于 2007 年 10 月 24 日至 2026 年 8 月 14 日期间，使用 ATM 卡或需输入密码的借记卡，在美国（包括其属地）的独立 ATM 从您的存款账户提取现金时被收取附加费（或使用费），且您的银行未全额返还这笔费用，则属于全国性诉讼集体的成员。您还可能属于加利福尼亚州、伊利诺伊州、马萨诸塞州或密歇根州的州级诉讼集体。您可能有资格获得本次和解的赔付款。有关更多信息及诉讼集体的完整定义，请访问 www.NonbankATMSurchargeSettlement.com。

和解方案提供哪些赔偿？

Visa 将向和解基金支付 88,775,000 美元，Mastercard 将支付 78,725,000 美元。和解基金将在扣除律师费、诉讼成本及其他开支、通知及管理费用和服务奖励金后，按比例分配给每位提交有效索赔申请的人士。

如何领取赔付款？

请在线或通过邮寄方式提交索赔表，截止日期为 2027 年 2 月 10 日。邮寄申请以邮戳日期为准。

我享有哪些权利？

即使您不采取任何行动，也将受到法院裁决的约束。如果您希望保留自行起诉 Visa 和 Mastercard 的权利，须最迟于 2026 年 12 月 11 日申请退出本次诉讼集体。如果您不申请退出，可最迟于 2026 年 12 月 11 日对和解方案提出异议。有关申请退出或提出异议的具体方式，请访问 www.NonbankATMSurchargeSettlement.com。

法院定于 2027 年 2 月 17 日举行听证会，审议是否批准本次和解方案及以下申请：支付不超过和解基金 30% 的律师费、报销相关费用及开支，以及向每位诉讼集体代表支付不超过 17,500 美元的服务奖励金。您或您自行聘请的律师可自费出席听证会并发言。

Hotels across the US and Canada can now run their entire property without switching systems - from check-in to bar tab

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mews, the operating system for hospitality, today announced the launch of Mews POS in the United States and Canada. North American hotels can now run their property management, food and beverage operations and payments on one system - every order, charge and guest interaction connects automatically.

Introduced in 2024, Mews POS is already live in more than 20 countries across Europe and APAC. The North America launch supports Mews' broader strategy to give hoteliers one system that covers the full scope of hotel operations, rather than a collection of disconnected tools.

Most POS systems on the market were built for stand-alone, full-service restaurant operations. For most hotels running F&B, that means paying for complexity they don't need. The consequences go beyond cost: Revenue is lost through manual posting errors, missed checkouts, and API gaps. Staff spend two hours a day reconciling POS, PMS and accounting systems manually. Meiser Hotels in Germany cut that to zero – saving two hours daily per property through automated payment reconciliation. At checkout, guests face two separate bills, while F&B staff have no visibility into who they are serving. Every outlet feels like a different hotel. Mews POS was designed to solve that.

Mews POS is purpose-built for the full range of hotel F&B operations: restaurants, counter service, hotel bars, grab-and-go retail, breakfast service and more.

Because Mews POS runs on the same system as property management and payments, the connection between front desk and F&B is seamless. Guest profiles surface directly in the POS, so staff know who they are serving before they take an order. F&B charges post directly to a guest's bill. Receipts are accessible within the PMS via URL, removing the need for printed copies. Reconciliation happens automatically, with no manual matching at the end of the shift or separate reporting to consolidate.

Vanessa Mowell, Director of Operations at Shelter Social Club said: "We were previously running F&B and retail on completely separate systems - paper-based tip tracking, no room charging after checkout. Mews POS brought everything together across our lobby shop, bar, and in-room amenities. The reporting is clean for both sales data and Mews billing, and it's changed everything for front of house and Accounting alike."

"Hotels shouldn't need a separate system for every part of their operation," added Richard Valtr, Founder of Mews. "Mews POS removes the headaches that come with standalone systems by connecting every order, every guest interaction and every payment in one place, from the front desk to the bar tab, with no manual reconciliation at the end of the shift.

About Mews

Mews is the operating system for hospitality, unifying workflows across revenue, operations and the guest journey so teams can automate the mundane and focus on memorable guest experiences. The Mews platform spans PMS, POS, RMS, Housekeeping and Payments, helping hoteliers move from property management to profit management. Powering 15,000 customers across 85 countries, the company was named Best PMS (2024, 2025, 2026), Best POS (2026) and listed among the Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech for six years running by Hotel Tech Report.

Based on verified end-user feedback collected through Info-Tech Research Group's SoftwareReviews platform, the 2026 Application Lifecycle & Release Management Data Quadrant Report names Azure DevOps, Jira, Inflectra SpiraTeam, and Rally Software as Champions. The report evaluates platforms that support software planning, development, testing, and release management based on product capabilities, vendor experience, and overall user satisfaction.

ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As organizations work to deliver software faster while maintaining quality, governance, and control, application lifecycle and release management platforms help coordinate development, manage releases, and improve visibility across the software delivery process. Info-Tech Research Group's 2026 Application Lifecycle & Release Management Data Quadrant Report provides a comprehensive, data-driven evaluation of leading solutions based on verified end-user feedback collected through SoftwareReviews, the firm's peer-review platform.

Application lifecycle and release management platforms combine capabilities such as project planning, source control, testing, deployment automation, release coordination, and governance to help organizations manage software delivery from development through production. As the category evolves, vendors are expanding support for DevOps integration, cross-functional collaboration, and release oversight, increasing the need for user-driven insight into how these platforms perform in practice.

Info-Tech's Data Quadrant is a comprehensive software evaluation tool that ranks products based on verified user feedback across key dimensions, including likelihood to recommend, feature rankings, net emotional footprint score, and vendor capabilities. These dimensions are aggregated into a Composite Score (CS), which reflects overall user satisfaction and determines placement within the Data Quadrant. The firm's methodology ensures that rankings are based entirely on authentic user reviews, free from analyst opinions or vendor influence.

The Champions in the 2026 Application Lifecycle & Release Management Data Quadrant are:

- Azure DevOps, 8.9 CS, recognized for its agile work management capabilities.

- Jira, 8.8 CS, recognized for its bug tracking and issue management capabilities.

- Inflectra SpiraTeam, 8.7 CS, recognized for its ease of implementation.

- Rally Software, 8.6 CS, highly rated for its managed artifact repository capabilities.

"The real test of an application lifecycle and release management platform is the experience it delivers for the teams that rely on it every day," says Suneel Ghei, technical counselor at Info-Tech Research Group. "A solution may appear comprehensive on paper, but its value depends on how well it fits existing ways of working, reduces friction, and supports consistent outcomes at scale. The right platform should meet current priorities while remaining adaptable as organizational needs evolve."

User assessments of software categories on SoftwareReviews provide an accurate and detailed view of the constantly changing market. Info-Tech's reports are informed by data from users and IT professionals with intimate experience with the software across the procurement, implementation, and maintenance processes.

Moab Office of Tourism Launches New Brand and "Should've Stayed Longer" Campaign

New destination-wide campaign turns visitors' most common realization into an invitation to extend their stay

MOAB, Utah, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Moab Office of Tourism has launched a new brand and campaign: "Should've Stayed Longer." The new brand—including a positioning platform and full visual identity—invites visitors to see Moab as a destination worthy of their time, intention and respect, not simply a bucket-list experience. Supporting this aim, the ad campaign was inspired by visitor research revealing that more than 90% of visitors planned to return to Moab or wished they had built in more time to explore the destination. The campaign was developed and produced through a partnership between Camp4 Collective, a creative content studio and production company, and TOURIST, a creative and strategic agency for travel brands.

The data gathered from an in-depth research phase helped shape the idea at the heart of the campaign: Moab is not simply a stop along the way, but a destination worthy of an entire trip.

"Over the past year, our office, board of directors, elected officials, community and agency partners have come together to build a brand that better reflects what makes Moab so extraordinary," said Michael Soleta, director of the Moab Office of Tourism.

"People may come to Moab with Arches National Park at the top of their list, but once they're here, they realize how much more there is to experience—from Canyonlands National Park and the Colorado River to our dark skies, outdoor adventures, downtown and local community. Again and again, we hear the same thing from visitors: 'I should've stayed longer.' This campaign takes that realization and turns it into an invitation: give Moab the time it deserves."

Campaign creative will appear across Moab's full suite of advertising, including billboards, print, digital, CTV and social media, as well as a full wrap of the new, free shuttle connecting downtown Moab to Arches National Park. Featured campaign headlines include: "You came for two trails. Moab has 300 more with your name on them."; "One arch down. 2,000 to go."; "This view took 5 million years. Take your time."; and "The Colorado River's in no hurry. So, why are you?"

Visitors are encouraged to slow down, stay longer and discover more of what Moab has to offer. The Moab Office of Tourism is working with lodging partners to offer special incentives for stays of three nights or more, giving visitors time to explore more deeply and experience Moab beyond the expected. Participating properties include Hoodoo Moab, SpringHill Suites by Marriott Moab, Wolfe's Hotel Moab, Red Cliffs Lodge Moab, Apache Motel and others to be announced.

The new brand platform and the "Should've Stayed Longer" campaign will officially launch at a Community Open House event on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026, from 5 to 8 p.m. MDT.

POTOMAC FALLS, Va., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when destination organizations are facing growing scrutiny of public funding, shifting political priorities, economic uncertainty and increasing expectations from residents and stakeholders, the ability to advocate effectively has never been more important.

On September 16, 2026, Destinations International (DI), the world's leading association representing destination organizations and convention and visitors bureaus (CVBs), will bring together destination leaders, public officials, policy experts and industry partners for its second global Virtual Advocacy Day, a must-attend global program designed to help destination professionals navigate this increasingly complex environment.

The message behind the event is simple: advocacy is no longer optional.

"Destination leaders today are operating in an environment where funding, public perception and political support can change remarkably quickly," said Don Welsh, president & CEO of Destinations International. "We cannot wait until a challenge emerges to begin making the case for our work. We need strong relationships, credible data, compelling messages and trusted advocates already in place. Virtual Advocacy Day is about giving destination leaders the knowledge and tools to be ready, confident and effective."

The one-day virtual global program, running from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET, has been designed to move beyond theory and focus on the real-world challenges destination organizations are confronting now.

Participants will hear from destination leaders, policymakers and experts on issues including:

- Policy That Performs: Funding Tourism While Protecting Place, examining tourism levies, taxes and policies that can create sustainable funding while balancing economic growth and community well-being.

- Building Consensus: How Destination Leaders Turn Relationships into Results, exploring how trust, listening and sustained relationship-building can transform stakeholders into advocates.

- Weathering the Storm: What 30 Years of Downturns Teach DMOs About Surviving the Next One, identifying lessons from decades of recessions, funding crises and industry disruptions and what leaders should be doing now to prepare.

- The Missing Partner in Destination Development, examining why stronger relationships between destination organizations and city planners can help shape infrastructure, development and the future of communities.

- The Politics of Destination Funding: Advocacy, Influence & Strategy, providing destination professionals with a clearer understanding of advocacy, lobbying and electioneering and how organizations can appropriately engage policymakers.

- Building Your Destination's Advocacy First Aid Kit, a practical session designed to help organizations assemble the relationships, research, proof points, messages and internal roles they need before the next challenge arrives.

Virtual Advocacy Day will also feature the unveiling of the 2026 Tourism Lexicon and Social Impact Lexicon, providing new insights into the words, messages and concepts that resonate with stakeholders today. The research is designed to help destination organizations communicate more effectively with elected officials, residents, board members, business leaders and the media, replacing industry terminology with language that connects tourism to the issues communities care about most.

"Advocacy is ultimately about relevance and trust," said Andreas Weissenborn, senior vice president, advocacy & destination advancement at Destinations International. "Destination organizations need to understand what matters to their communities and demonstrate how their work contributes to those priorities. This program is designed so participants do not simply leave with ideas. They leave with strategies and tools they can begin using immediately."

CEOs and destination leaders are encouraged to participate alongside their government affairs, communications and community engagement teams and to invite board members, elected officials, public-sector partners and other community stakeholders to join them.

The virtual format makes it possible for entire teams and stakeholders to participate without the cost or time associated with travel, creating an opportunity for organizations to develop a shared understanding of what effective destination advocacy looks like.

ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- During We Card Awareness Month this September, all retailers are encouraged to sharpen their employee training and reinforce compliance efforts as FDA enforcement of age-restricted product sales remains a critical focus.

Now in its 31st year, The We Card Program celebrates Awareness Month by spotlighting smart and practical steps retailers can take to help prevent underage purchase attempts of tobacco, vapor and nicotine pouch products.

"September's We Card Awareness Month is the time to ramp up and renew retailer compliance efforts on federal law and FDA requirements as well as state and local requirements for responsibly retailing age-restricted products," said David Spross, Executive Director of the National Association of Tobacco Outlets and a We Card board member.

We Card's campaign continues to reflect a broad, industry-wide commitment to responsible retailing across all trade channels. Public support efforts — including Governors' Proclamations and Letters of Support from a growing list of states, remain an invaluable part of raising visibility during this month, reinforcing the importance of preventing youth access to restricted products.

"We Card represents a shared commitment across the retail community, and Awareness Month is a chance to highlight the year-round work retailers do to card customers, train employees, and help prevent underage access to tobacco, vaping and nicotine pouch products," said Doug Anderson, president of The We Card Program, Inc. "Public recognition from state leaders helps amplify that message and underscores the value of retailer compliance efforts in communities nationwide."

5 Steps Retailers Should Take During We Card Awareness Month

We Card recommends retailers focus on five key action items this September:

- Train new employees and retrain experienced staff

Make sure all newly hired employees receive thorough training, and use Awareness Month as a reminder to refresh veteran employee knowledge as well. Training should cover FDA retailer requirements, applicable state and local laws, and practical scenarios involving age verification, carding, and ID scanning where applicable.

- Update training tools and in-store signage

Retailers should review current training materials and signage to ensure stores are using the most up-to-date tools available to help prevent underage sales. A seasonal refresh of signs, policy reminders, and employee reference materials can help keep compliance expectations visible and top of mind.

- Measure employee and store performance

Compliance programs are strongest when they include a way to verify performance. Retailers should consider mystery shopping checks or similar assessments to confirm employees are consistently carding customers or scanning IDs according to store policy.

We Card's ID Check-Up program remains one option for retailers looking to evaluate how well store teams are following procedures, using age-eligible mystery shoppers and online reporting tools.

- Review store procedures against recognized best practices

This is also the perfect time to compare current store procedures against We Card's Guide to Best Practices. Reviewing policies, employee training, signage, and verification procedures can help identify gaps and strengthen day-to-day compliance.

Retailers can access the free guide by completing a brief survey.

- Continue to raise awareness of social sourcing

In addition to direct retail sales prevention of underage access, We Card continues to call attention to the problem of social sourcing — when underage individuals obtain tobacco, vaping or nicotine pouch products through others. Research shows youth often report acquiring these products through social means, such as gifting, proxy purchasing, sharing, borrowing, or "bumming" from of-age individuals.

We Card encourages retailers to support education efforts around this issue through in-store awareness materials and messaging aimed at discouraging adults from purchasing or providing tobacco, vapor and nicotine pouch products to underage individuals.

Make September a Compliance Checkpoint

We Card Awareness Month is an annual reminder that responsible retailing requires more than a one-time training session. Strong compliance comes from continuing to train employees, reinforce store policies, measure performance and adapt as requirements and technology evolve.

September provides retailers with a natural checkpoint to ask a simple question: Are we doing everything we can to prevent underage sales?

By strengthening training, reinforcing age-verification practices, measuring store performance and addressing social sourcing, retailers can turn Awareness Month into action that lasts throughout the year.
