JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America agreed to settlements totaling more than $66 million to resolve class action lawsuit claims of unfair out-of-network ATM fees.
The settlement benefits consumers who paid an unreimbursed ATM access fee directly to the defendants (JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, or Bank of America) or others (any bank that is a member of the Visa or MasterCard networks) for an out-of-network ATM transaction between Oct. 1, 2007, and Nov. 12, 2021.
According to a class action lawsuit against the settling companies and other organizations, consumers incurred unfair ATM surcharges when using out-of-network ATMs. The defendants allegedly worked together in an antitrust agreement to raise the cost of out-of-network ATM surcharges, resulting in artificially high costs for their customers. Without this alleged agreement, consumers would have paid significantly less in fees, the class action lawsuit contends.
Plaintiffs in the ATM fee class action lawsuit brought claims under the Sherman Act, a federal antitrust law. Antitrust agreements, such as the ones described in the 2015 amended complaint, are outlawed by federal law due to the unjust burden placed on consumers and the negative impact on fair markets.Â
JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo are the three largest banks, respectively, in the United States by assets for 2021, according to Insider Intelligence.
JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America deny any wrongdoing but agreed to settle the claims against them in an out-of-network ATM fees class action settlement.Â
The combined settlement fund is worth $66.74 million, with JP Morgan paying $19.5 million, Wells Fargo paying $20.82 million, and Bank of America paying $26.42 million.
Payments from the JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America ATM fees lawsuit settlement will vary depending on a number of factors, including counsel and administrative fees and and other deductions from the settlement. After these deductions, which must be approved by the court at the approval hearing, the net settlement fund will be used to pay customers.
Payments will be distributed to consumers on a pro rata basis. Because it is impossible to know how many claims will be filed, no payment estimates are available.
If the settlement is approved and no appeals are filed, the settlement administrator expects payments to be sent out within six months. However, court delays and appeals could extend this timeline.
The final approval hearing for the JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America out-of-network ATM fees class action lawsuit settlement is scheduled for May 17, 2022.
The deadline for exclusion and objection from the settlement is March 11, 2022.Â
In order to receive a settlement payment, Class Members must file a valid claim form by May 11, 2022.

Just got paid $607. Been waiting a while for this. Never expected it to be more than $30.
Woohoo!
My friend just got 2nd email stating ACH was PAID and the amount should show up in my account in 4-5 business days. I’m still waiting on my 2nd email. He only received 1 email with the selection choice which he took ACH. Second Email indicated the ACH was marked PAID. He’s going to let me know when it shows up in the account.
The money is starting to drop into Paypal right now. I just got the email.
Thank you so much waiting patiently
Just got my $1072 in my Venmo!
Wonder when PayPal will hit ??
Luckily I check my spam folder. Both emails from the were in my spam folder.
I got my first email stating how much I was getting and also had the link to claim my payment. I followed the link and chose PayPal. Within 20 minutes I had received my 2nd email telling Me my payment would be in my PayPal by end of day this Thursday. It’s weird though…Did anyone else notice how that the emails looked like clipart from like windows 98? Almost like a fake email ad or spam mail!
Yep. I googled the email, bame of the company and then came here before I clicked the link. It looked bogus as hell.
No, it’s totally legit. My $1,072.00 was just deposited into my Venmo account.
Oh I know, just saying it looked fake.
My friend got only 1 email and initiated the ACH today. I’m sainting on my 2nd email.

My girlfriend chose to have hers sent to her bank account and it said it won’t be there until next Wednesday, July 5th.
Did it transfer to your Venmo account already? I chose Venmo too but it said by the end of Thursday I would get it- usually Venmo is right away.
How long after you selected Venmo did you receive? Email says Thursdsybthe 26th but typically Venmo is quicker
THATS A LIE! FOR VENMO AND PAYPAL ITS A 2-3 DAY WAIT TO ACTUALLY RECIEVE THE MONEY.
