Fidelity agrees to $2.5M settlement with payouts up to $5K: Do you qualify?

The $2.5 million deal covers more than 77,000 notified customers and offers documented loss payments of up to $5,000.

  • Fidelity Investments customers may be eligible for a payout from the company's $2.5 million settlement, with claims due by July 27, 2026.
  • The lawsuit, filed in Massachusetts, claimed Fidelity failed to protect its network from a "data security incident" between Aug. 17, 2024, and Aug. 19, 2024, though Fidelity denied any wrongdoing.
  • Eligible class members can claim a cash payment estimated at about $100, described as "pro rata," or reimbursement up to $5,000 for documented losses, plus $1 million in fraud insurance through CyEx Financial Shield Complete.
  • Customers wishing to preserve the right to file their own lawsuit against Fidelity must formally opt out by June 26, 2026, or remain unable to participate in other legal actions.
  • A final approval hearing is scheduled for July 9, 2026, to determine settlement fairness; claimants seeking eligibility clarification can contact the Settlement Administrator at 386-6470.
