$2.39M Union Bank and Trust data breach class action settlement

Union Bank and Trust Co. agreed to pay nearly $2.4 million in a class action settlement to resolve claims it failed to protect consumer data in a MOVEit data breach.

The United Bank and Trust settlement benefits anyone whose personally identifiable information (PII) was included in the files affected by the MOVEit security incident between May 27 and 31, 2023.

Union Bank and Trust was allegedly affected by the 2023 MOVEit data breach, which exposed consumer names, Social Security numbers and other sensitive data. Plaintiffs in the data breach class action lawsuit argue the bank could have prevented the incident by implementing reasonable cybersecurity measures.

Union Bank and Trust is a financial institution that offers banking, lending, investment and other services.

Union Bank and Trust has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $2,389,976 class action settlement to resolve the allegations.

Under the terms of the Union Bank and Trust settlement, class members can receive either reimbursement for losses or an alternative cash payment.

Class members can receive up to $2,500 for ordinary losses, including up to four hours of lost time at a rate of $25 per hour. The settlement also allows for up to $10,000 in reimbursement for extraordinary losses, including documented, unreimbursed monetary losses that occurred between May 31, 2023, and the end of the claims period.

Class members who did not experience losses as a result of the United Bank and Trust data breach can receive a cash payment of $100.

All class members are eligible for two years of three-bureau credit monitoring and identity theft protection services.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 22, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the data breach class action settlement is scheduled for Aug. 6, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by July 21, 2026.
