Eligibility and Claim Process
To get your Capital One settlement money, you'll need to understand the eligibility criteria and claim process. If you were an account holder with Capital One from September 1, 2015, to January 12, 2022, and were charged representment fees during this period, you're eligible for a payment from the settlement fund.
The $10 million net settlement fund will be divided by each Capital One settlement claim. The amount each claimant gets may be adjusted before the final approval hearing depending on how many class members there are. This means you don't need to do anything to file a claim, as Capital One will automatically compensate all class members.
However, if you're a current or former customer who maintained a Capital One 360 Savings account between September 18, 2019, and June 16, 2025, you're eligible for payments. A 360 Savings account will be considered "closed" for settlement purposes if it was converted to a 360 Performance Savings account by October 2, 2025.
To file a claim for the settlement, eligible customers must submit a claim form by October 2, 2025. Claims can be filed through the official settlement website. Unfortunately, some customers have reported not receiving their checks after submitting their claims.
Here's a summary of the eligibility and claim process:
- Eligible account holders: September 1, 2015, to January 12, 2022, and charged representment fees
- Eligible customers with 360 Savings accounts: September 18, 2019, to June 16, 2025
- Claim deadline: October 2, 2025
- Claim process: Automatically compensated by Capital One, no need to submit a claim form
Capital One Data Breach Settlement
The Capital One data breach settlement is a $190 million class action settlement. It's a separate settlement from the Capital One settlement we discussed earlier, which was related to NSF and overdraft fees.
The settlement is for current and former Capital One customers who maintained a Capital One 360 Savings account between September 18, 2019, and June 16, 2025. A 360 Savings account will be considered "closed" for settlement purposes if it was converted to a 360 Performance Savings account by October 2, 2025.
Some people who submitted claims for this settlement have reported not receiving a check or any update on the status of their claim. If you're one of them, you should contact the settlement administrator for more information.
The settlement fund is $190 million, but it's not clear how much each eligible customer will receive. The settlement administrator will determine the pro-rata share of the net settlement fund for each eligible customer based on the number of eligible fees they were charged between September 1, 2015, and January 12, 2022.
