Plaid Pulled Plug on Visa Deal Over Price, Not Antitrust Concerns

It also turns Plaid into a very appealing target for growth equity investors, IPO bankers and SPAC sponsors. DOJ sued to block the deal in November, claiming it would eliminate Plaid's future ability to compete in the online debit market, thus giving Visa a monopoly. Visa said it would vigorously defend itself, in part because Plaid has no online debit products nor any in the pipeline. Visa also sought an expedited process to begin in the spring, whereas DOJ sought a December trial. The two sides met just before the holidays, but I'm told that DOJ would only agree to split the difference.
