The money comes from a £200 million fund agreed last year over claims the firm charged unlawful fees. You can apply online soon if you were a UK resident for specific periods between 1992 and 2008, without even needing to have owned a Mastercard. Payouts arrive in the first half of next year, dropping to £45 if the expected 2.2 million people claim.
