Envision Credit Union data breach class action settlement

Envision Credit Union agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it failed to protect consumer info from a 2021 data breach.

The settlement benefits individuals whose full name and other personally identifiable information was accessed during the Envision Credit Union data breach between Aug. 5, 2021, and Aug. 7, 2021.

Plaintiffs in the data breach class action lawsuit claim that Envision Credit Union could have prevented the August 2021 data breach through reasonable cybersecurity measures. Consumers are now at the risk for fraud and identity theft, the consumers contend.

Envision Credit Union is a financial institution in northern Florida and southern Georgia.

Envision hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve these data breach claims. 

Envision will pay up to $250,000 for ordinary expense reimbursement, lost time claims and extraordinary reimbursement. 

Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive up to $300 for ordinary expenses such as bank fees, communication charges, credit-related costs and up to three hours of lost time at a rate of $25 per hour. Claimants can receive higher payments of $4,000 for documented monetary losses related to the data breach.

All class members can receive three years of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services. 

The settlement also includes security enhancements by Envision to better protect consumer information. 

The deadline for exclusion and objection is March 14, 2023.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for April 13, 2023.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by May 13, 2023.
