Nearly $2M California Way2Go card class action settlement

Comerica Bank and Conduent State & Local Solutions have agreed to a nearly $2 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims they denied California Way2Go cardholder disputes involving unauthorized transactions.

The Comerica Bank settlement benefits individuals who were issued a California Way2Go prepaid Mastercard and had their unauthorized transfer dispute denied for conflicting information.

According to the class action lawsuit, Comerica Bank and Conduent State & Local Solutions violated the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and California law by denying California Way2Go cardholder disputes involving unauthorized transactions.

The California Way2Go card program is managed by Conduent State & Local Solutions, which is a subsidiary of Conduent Inc. The program provides prepaid debit cards to residents who receive government benefits, such as unemployment insurance, child support and other payments.

Comerica Bank is a financial institution that offers banking services to consumers and businesses.

Comerica and Conduent have not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to this $1.956 million settlement to resolve the class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Comerica Bank and Conduent California Way2Go card settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the amount of their disputed claim.

According to the settlement website, class members can receive around 73% of the amount they disputed. For example, if a class member disputed a $1,000 transaction, they could receive around $730.

If any funds remain in the settlement after the first round of payments, a second round of payments will be distributed to class members who accepted their first payment.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Nov. 10, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Comerica Bank settlement is scheduled for Dec. 11, 2025.

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