Judge Approves $425 Million Capital One Settlement. Here's What Customers Should Know.
The revised agreement sends the full $425 million to customers and requires Capital One to match rates on the two accounts going forward.
District Judge David Novak approved a $425 million settlement in April 2026, resolving a class action lawsuit against Capital One over its savings account interest practices.
Plaintiffs alleged Capital One kept Customers in older Savings accounts with lower rates while offering up to 4.3% on newer Performance Savings accounts without clearly informing account holders.
Eligible Customers who held Savings accounts between Sept. 18, 2019, and June 16, 2025, qualify for automatic payments without taking any action to receive compensation.
Although Capital One denied wrongdoing, the bank agreed to settle, with the agreement expected to provide more than $1.2 billion in total relief to Millions of Customers.
Payments are expected automatically within one to two months, though those owed less than $5 will receive funds only if they previously chose electronic Payouts.
