(Reuters) -Visa is under investigation by the Department of Justice over allegedly charging retailers more for not using the payment firm’s proprietary “tokenization” technolgy, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Shares of Visa (NYSE:) were down 1.06%, at $237.29 in premarket trading.
