Walmart agreed to a $1.85 million class action settlement to resolve claims that its check processing disclosures failed to inform customers that they may incur multiple bank fees for insufficient funds.
The Walmart settlement provides non-monetary benefits to all customers who wrote a check for payment of goods or services at any Walmart retail store in the United States.
According to the class action lawsuit, Walmart’s check processing disclosures did not sufficiently inform shoppers that Walmart, and its check processor TeleCheck, might make multiple attempts to cash bounced checks and, if successful, might also make multiple attempts to recover “return fees” from shoppers’ bank accounts.
The plaintiff in the case says she and other customers were damaged when they incurred multiple bank fees as a result of Walmart and TeleCheck repeatedly attempting to collect the underlying check amount and the return fee.
Walmart is a retail store with locations across the country. TeleCheck is a check verification and check guarantee company that works with retailers, such as Walmart.
Walmart has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay a $1.85 million class action settlement to resolve the TeleCheck class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the Walmart settlement, Walmart has agreed to change its check-processing disclosures at the point of sale and PIN pad in each of its retail stores in the United States.
The deadline to object to the settlement is April 23, 2026.
The final approval hearing for the Walmart class action settlement is scheduled for May 13, 2026.
No claim form is required since the settlement provides no monetary relief. To object, you must send a written document by mail or private courier by the due date of April 23, 2026.
Who’s Eligible
The class action settlement benefits all past and future customers who wrote a check for payment of goods or services at any Walmart retail store in the United States.
Potential Award
The settlement does not provide monetary relief. Instead, Walmart will change check-processing disclosures at the point of sale and a PIN pad in each of its retail stores in the United States.
