Capital One customers set to receive automatic payment from $425 million settlement

  • A federal judge has approved a $425 million settlement in a lawsuit against Capital One concerning its handling of savings accounts.
  • The lawsuit alleged Capital One acted deceptively by not informing existing 360 Savings account holders about the new 360 Performance Savings account, which offered a higher interest rate.
  • Judge David Novak of the Eastern District of Virginia finalized the settlement, which was revised upwards from an initial proposal of less than $300 million.
  • Capital One has denied any wrongdoing, and the court has not determined that the bank acted improperly in the matter.
  • Impacted customers who held a 360 Savings account between September 18, 2019 and June 16, 2025 are automatically eligible for a payment of $5 or more, which will be sent to their last known address.
