Proof Required?

SunTrust Bank (now Truist) customers may be eligible for compensation from a $240 million class action settlement over overdraft fees. The lawsuit alleged that SunTrust charged illegal overdraft fees on ATM and debit card transactions, violating federal regulations and causing financial harm to customers. If you were a SunTrust customer who was charged overdraft fees on your ATM withdrawals or debit card purchases, you could be entitled to money from this significant settlement. The case specifically focuses on overdraft fees that were allegedly charged improperly on these types of transactions.

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

The overdraft fees were charged during the relevant time period covered by the settlement

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $240 million, which will be distributed among eligible class members who submit valid claims. The exact amount each person receives will depend on factors such as how many overdraft fees they were charged and how many people file claims.
