This settlement resolves claims in Schertzer, et al. v. Bank of America, N.A., et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-00264-DMS-MSB, pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.
The lawsuit alleges that Bank of America, N.A. assessed more than one out-of-network balance inquiry fee when customers used FCTI, Inc.-owned ATMs located in 7-Eleven stores. Bank of America denies wrongdoing, but has agreed to a $2,250,000 settlement fund.
