Capital One $425M Class Action Settlement 2025, Every customer to be paid upon the claim

2025 brings significant financial relief to millions of Capital One customers in the United States. The bank has agreed to a substantial $425 million settlement, settling a significant class-action lawsuit related to low interest rates on 360 Savings Accounts. This relief is for customers who did not receive fair interest on their accounts between 2019 and 2025. This decision is being considered a major victory for consumer rights, as it clearly demonstrates that even large financial institutions are accountable.

Background of the Controversy: Why Did Customers Receive Low Interest?

The issue arose when some customers discovered that older Capital One 360 ​​Savings Accounts were receiving very low interest rates, while new customers were receiving significantly higher interest rates on 360 Performance Accounts.

Between 2019 and 2025:

• Interest earned by existing customers: Just 0.3%
• Interest earned by new customers: Up to 4.3%

This significant interest rate difference caused significant financial losses to customers. A subsequent investigation by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) revealed that the bank was neither providing accurate information to its existing customers nor offering them the option to switch to accounts with better interest rates.

Although Capital One did not admit to the allegations, it decided to pay $425 million in compensation to compensate customers for the losses incurred and ensure transparency in interest rates going forward.
