Proof Required?
Oppenheimer & Co., a well-known brokerage and investment firm, has agreed to a $70 million class action settlement related to its Advantage Bank Deposit Program — a cash sweep program used to hold uninvested client funds. The lawsuit alleged that Oppenheimer swept client cash into bank deposit accounts in a way that did not fairly compensate customers, potentially prioritizing the firm's own financial interests over those of its clients. If you had a brokerage account with Oppenheimer & Co. and participated in the Advantage Bank Deposit Program — meaning your uninvested cash was automatically swept into this program — you may be entitled to a payment from this settlement. This type of case is sometimes called a "cash sweep" lawsuit, and similar suits have been filed against other major brokerages in recent years. Details about the exact claim deadline, payout amounts per person, and the official claim form are still being finalized or have not yet been publicly released. We're tracking this settlement closely and will update this page as more information becomes available. In the meantime, Class Action Buddy can help you stay on top of this and other settlements you may qualify for.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You held a brokerage or investment account with Oppenheimer & Co.
  • Your uninvested cash was swept into the Advantage Bank Deposit Program during the relevant time period covered by the lawsuit
  • You were a retail or individual investor (specific account types covered may be confirmed once full settlement details are released)
  • You are a U.S. resident who was an Oppenheimer account holder during the class period (exact dates pending)

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $70 million, which will be distributed among eligible class members. Individual payout amounts have not yet been publicly specified — your share will likely depend on factors such as how much cash you had swept into the Advantage Bank Deposit Program and for how long. Once the settlement administrator releases the official distribution formula, we will update this page with estimated per-person amounts. Keep in mind that attorney fees and administrative costs are typically deducted from the total fund before distribution to claimants.
