Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You held a checking or deposit account with First Federal Bank of Kansas City
  • You were charged one or more overdraft fees on debit card transactions during the relevant period covered by the settlement
  • You believe those overdraft fees were improperly assessed based on the bank's overdraft policies
  • You are a current or former customer who received notice of this settlement, or whose account records show qualifying overdraft charges

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $300,000, which will be divided among all eligible class members who file valid claims. The exact amount each person receives will depend on how many people submit claims and, potentially, how much in overdraft fees each individual was charged. Specific per-person payout amounts have not been publicly detailed, but customers who were charged multiple overdraft fees may receive a larger share of the fund. Keep in mind that settlement administration costs and attorneys' fees will be deducted from the $300,000 before the remaining funds are distributed to claimants. Filing your claim is the only way to receive your portion — if you don't file, you won't receive any payment.
