Consumers who had a checking or savings account with Bank of America (BOA) and were charged a retry transaction, overdraft, nonsufficient funds (NSF), or intrabank transaction fee may be eligible for a payment thanks to a $75 million BOA fees class action settlement.
Settlement Class Members include Bank of America customers who had a checking and/or savings account and were charged one of the following fees between July 1, 2014, and July 29, 2021: retry transaction fee, Intrabank transaction fee, NSF fee, or overdraft fee.
Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit allege Bank of America charged its customers improper fees systematically in a multipronged effort to earn more profit.Â
The plaintiffs further say multiple BOA fees would get charged for a single transaction. Together, plaintiffs say, the bank’s practice of charging these fees would force customers into a cycle of deceptive and improper charges.
Bank of America disputes the plaintiffs’ allegations, and the company denies its actions were improper.Â
The Court has not made any ruling about the actions of Bank of America, so no determination of guilt has been made in the BOA fees class action lawsuit.Â
Despite that, both Bank of America and the plaintiffs have considered the risks and costs of continuing the class action lawsuit. Both parties believe the settlement is in the best interests of all Class Members and the company itself.
According to the settlement, the $75 million balance will get paid out on a pro rata basis after attorneys’ fees, service awards, and the costs of administering the settlement have been deducted.Â
Current customers will get a credit on their accounts for the amount they’re entitled to receive, while former customers will receive a check.
Also as part of the settlement, Bank of America has also agreed to change certain practices for at least five years. It will stop assessing fees on retry transactions and will implement changes to its consumer account disclosures.
Class Members who do not wish to participate in the settlement must exclude themselves. By doing so, Class Members can continue pursuing any individual claims against Bank of America, but they will not receive any payment from this settlement.
Class Members who wish to continue participating in the class action lawsuit but are not happy with the settlement have a right to object.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the BOA fees class action settlement is Nov. 11, 2021.
No claim form is required.

Been with BOA for over 30 years and only got 65.00$! Wtf
They did this lawsuit for themselves! What’s 2.84 suppose to cover? Meanwhile they are celebrating with 25million in there pockets?! They saw an opportunity and took it simple.
I received 2.84
I am a current BofA customer I received 2.84 direct deposit. I did not know about this class action the amount does not cover the overdraft fee and as per the settlement documents they are suppose to at least cover that. I requested from BofA further information on the settlement. If there are any lawyers on here please look into this if they do not comply with the settlement regulations is that not a violation of it?
I received a deposit of $68.16, they spent more money sending us those post card and letting us know about the lawsuits.
This amount is disheartening, after all of the challenges we have faced as a nation in the last few years. The change that hopefully will come from this law suit is the only value. Let’s hope BofA honors their new position. Certainly, my auto deposit has no value in these challenging times. I’ve been a BofA member since my first high school, lifeguarding job-1989ish? Still with BofA and a retiring teacher. Disheartening. Discouraging.

I have a quetion.at the the onlynpayment 852 cents that ashame about what they give us another payment all the only the one tome i give us more payment
Is it possible to sue the law firm for misrepresentation? The amounts being shown wouldn’t even cover a single overdraft fee of $35. The law firm too. 25 million, and made sure the customers who they were SUPPOSED to be representing got enough for a candy bar.
I got 852 that ashame went the lawyer got millón
I just got my $2.84 check in the mail! Pack of gum here I come!
When will someone file a class action suit against all class action suits?
So any idea where I can cash my $2 dollar check without being charged $5 bucks ? Maybe I’ll just frame it and hang it on my wall so I can get a kick out it everytime I see it….
Same here
