Bank of America agreed to a $8 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it charged unfair overdraft and non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees on checks. 

The settlement benefits Bank of America customers who were not refunded an NSF and/or overdraft fee in connection with a reprocessed check or ACH entry. 

According to the class action lawsuit, Bank of America charged multiple NSF fees and overdraft fees assessed on check transactions. Plaintiffs in the case say these fees violate Bank of America’s fee policies. 

Bank of America is a national bank chain that offers various financial products, including checking and savings accounts. 

Bank of America hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to an $8 million settlement to resolve the bank fees class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Bank of America NSF fees settlement, class members can receive a proportional share of the net settlement fund based on the amount they were assessed in 

The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 24, 2023.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for July 24, 2023.

No claim form is required to benefit from the settlement. Class members who do not opt out will automatically receive a settlement payment.

    In 2018 I became so overwhelmed with over draft fees that while talking to a man from the bank I made the comment that I felt like hanging myself and hung up. About 20 mins later 2 police officers came to my house. The bank called for a welfare check. Not sure if B.O.A really cared or if they were just making sure they were going to get more NSF fees out of me.
