Visa makes $500M deposit into an escrow account set aside for U.S. lawsuits

The American payment giant, Visa Inc., has made a significant move by depositing $500 million into a U.S. litigation escrow account. This deposit was made under the authority of Visa itself and as part of the company's U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, which was executed on September 2025.

The U.S. retrospective responsibility plan involves the deposit of B-1 shares into the escrow account. As a result, the account now holds B-1 shares from Visa, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol V.

The deposit of these B-1 shares into the account was made into a previously created U.S. litigation escrow account. This action was carried out in accordance with the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, which requires Visa to fund the escrow account.

It's important to note that the B-1 shares deposited are part of the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan. The deposit was made under the payment network's U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, and the account is funded by Visa with these B-1 shares.

In summary, Visa has deposited $500 million into a U.S. litigation escrow account as part of its U.S. retrospective responsibility plan. This deposit was authorized by Visa and involves the transfer of B-1 shares into the account. The purpose and implications of this move are yet to be fully understood, but it marks a significant step in Visa's ongoing commitment to regulatory compliance and transparency.
