BRUSSELS, Belgium: European Union antitrust regulators are examining fees imposed by payment giants Visa and Mastercard, Bloomberg News reported this week, adding to the mounting scrutiny of global card networks.

Spokespersons for Visa and Mastercard did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
