How payment works

ATM Fees Class Action Settlement FAQs
Common questions about this class action settlement.
Who was covered?
People who paid a surcharge to withdraw cash from a bank ATM in the United States between October 1, 2007 and July 26, 2024. The class period ran for almost seventeen years, which is unusually long and reflects how far back the challenged pricing practices were alleged to reach.
What was the case about?
ATM surcharge pricing. The claim concerned the rules governing what an ATM operator could charge for a withdrawal, and whether those rules kept surcharges higher than competition would have allowed. Cases of this kind are antitrust claims rather than consumer labeling claims.
Was proof required?
No. Claims could be filed without bank statements. Requiring documentation across a seventeen year class period would have excluded most of the class, so the settlement accepted a self certified claim in exchange for a modest estimated payment.
Can I still file a claim?
No. The deadline was January 22, 2025 and it has passed. This page remains as a record of what the settlement covered.
