Capital One will pay $190 million as part of a customer data security litigation settlement to resolve claims it jeopardized customer information in a 2019 data breach. Consumers may file a Capital One settlement claim through Aug. 22, 2022.
The settlement benefits around 98 million Capital One customers whose information was compromised as part of the 2019 data breach.Â
Capital One offers a variety of financial services to customers. However, according to the bank, its customers were targeted in a 2019 data breach.
In July 2019, Capital One informed its customers that millions of them had their information compromised when a third party accessed bank systems. Although the perpetrator was captured by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), sensitive information such as names, birth dates, addresses, phone numbers, credit scores, contact information, credit balances, payment history, and even Social Security numbers were compromised.
Customers affected by the data breach swiftly took legal action against Capital One, arguing the bank violated its duties to protect consumer information.Â
According to the plaintiffs, their information would have been secured and protected if Capital One took reasonable cybersecurity measures. Their failure to protect consumer information directly put customers at risk for identity theft and fraud, the Capital One class action lawsuit contends.
Capital One hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $190 million to resolve the claims.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can collect a cash payment for out-of-pocket expenses and lost time.Â
The settlement allows reimbursement for up to $25,000 in out-of-pocket expenses related to the data breach. This includes money spent preventing identity theft or fraud, unreimbursed fraud charges, miscellaneous expenses, professional fees, and up to 15 hours of lost time at a rate of at least $25 per hour. These payments require detailed documentation including bank statements, invoices, and receipts.Â
The settlement also provides three years of identity defense services through Pango. These services provide dark web monitoring, identity monitoring, lost wallet protection, security freeze capabilities, $1 million in insurance, and other benefits.Â
The settlement also provides free restoration services through Pango to support class members in the case of fraud or identity theft.
In addition to providing the benefits listed above, Capital One has committed to extensive cyber security practices for at least two years. These changes aim to better protect customer data.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is July 7, 2022.Â
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Sept. 8, 2022, rescheduled from Aug. 19, 2022.Â
In order to receive a payment or other benefits from the Capital One data breach settlement, class members must submit a valid claim form by Sept. 30, 2022.

Received an email today saying my payment has been paid, even though it said by the end of the day on Oct 10th ( I chose my bank) however I haven’t received anything in my account. Anyone else having the same issue? Hopefully it’ll be in my account by morning(fingers crossed)
Received my PayPal payment today.
My was supposed to be transferred to my paypal account today but I have not received anything yet? Did anyone else transfer to their paypal acustic account? If so, have you received it yet?
Okay I just received my money today to my bank account :) even if I selected ACH and it said I should get it on Friday lol, but I received it just NOW wohoo

Same for me. Got it this morning in the bank
Did you get your money
I chose ACH bank transfer, I received an email today saying the payment was paid, but it’s not in my bank account yet. I checked online on some class action Facebook groups, and several people say this is normal, that you’ll get the payment confirmation but it may take a day or two to reach your bank. Some of the people that chose PayPal and Venmo have received their payments, but not all.
confirm email stated i will receive it DD in my cashapp account Oct 6 2023 Friday. We shall see
Got the 2nd email to claim on Thursday September 28th and selected Venmo. Funds will be in venmo by EOD Monday October 2nd.
Hi. Have u received payment yet?
Did you get your money
I received the 1st EPIQ email on the 27th stating the amount & stating by the end of the day on the 28th I would receive another email with ways to accept the payment. Never got that 2nd email with the choices to accept! Anyone else have this situation??
I spoke to someone at the claims admin and anyone who completed a 1099 means the amount is over $1000 and they wont receive an email because they automatically will receive a check. Checks will be mailed on Oct 5 when the deadline expires to complete the 1099 form.
Thank you for sharing!
Hello, Question to anyone that may know. I did everything what was asked, got an email few months ago about protecting my identity regarding this lawsuit, but still didnt rcvd any email regarding payment.
