First National Bank Overdraft Class Action Settlement

A federal judge has approved a $3 million class action settlement between First National Bank and customers who say they were charged improper overdraft fees. Class Members will automatically receive an account credit or check if they incurred one of these fees.

Who’s Eligible

Class Members of the FNB overdraft settlement include all customers who had a First National Bank of Pennsylvania checking or demand deposit account that they could access with a debit card and who incurred an improper overdraft fee between June 1, 2006, through and including February 8, 2013.

Potential Award

Varies. The amount of money you will receive from the FNB overdraft class action settlement will be based on how many Class Members there are and how much money they paid in improper overdraft fees.

Proof of Purchase

None.

Claim Form Deadline

There is no claims filing process; current account holders will automatically receive their portion of the class action settlement deposited to their accounts. Former account holders will receive a payment via mailed check.

Case Name

Ord et al. v. FNB Corp. et al., Case No. 12-cv-00766, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Case Summary

The FNB overdraft settlement resolves a 2012 class action lawsuit (Ord v. FNB Corp.) that alleges the bank reordered debit and credit card transactions from highest to lowest dollar amount to increase the likelihood that customers would overdraw their accounts and trigger overdraft fees. This practice violated its customer contract, violated state unfair trade practices laws, and resulted in unjust enrichment, according to the class action lawsuit.

FNB denies any wrongdoing but agreed to refund customers through a class action lawsuit settlement fund to resolve the litigation.

    I don’t mind my email being shared to the proper authority because I have worked in banking for years. Banks now are compromising which hurt the poor, elderly, and the vulnerable. Someone needs to take a look at FSNB (Forest Still National Bank) or (Fort) practices and principles especially in Memphis, TN.

    1. Pauline Powell says:

      Correction: FSNB stands for Fort Sill National Bank.

  3. John Joseph Lindsey says:

    I’m getting hit with $37 charges on a $5 overage. I dont even get a chance to clear. Last month was $160 in charges.

    1. Pauline Powell says:

      I believe this. I wish someone would audit FSNB especially in Memphis, TN.
