In addition to requiring that Visa repeal the SSF, Judge Jones also issued an order allowing all of Visa's top 100 debit issuers, with Visa debit agreements that were signed while the SSF was in place, to terminate such agreements in the event that they enter into a new agreement with MasterCard to issue debit cards on MasterCard's network. In the coming months, all issuing financial institutions in the United States must be notified of the remedy in Judge Jones' decision.

Judge Jones found that the SSF effectively prevented Visa's top 100 debit issuers from issuing on MasterCard's network. Mr. Hanft said Visa's intention to put in place a coercive fee to block issuers from making independent brand decisions was unmasked by the Court through extensive evidence, including Visa's own internal documents.
