Capital One $425 Million Settlement Approved for 360 Savings Account Customers

A $425 million settlement involving Capital One has been approved concerning its 360 Savings accounts. The lawsuit alleged that Capital One did not inform existing customers about the introduction of the higher-yield 360 Performance Savings account in 2019, which offered nearly double the interest rate. Capital One denies wrongdoing, and no court ruling found improper conduct. Eligible customers who held a 360 Savings account between September 2019 and June 2025 will receive automatic payments without filing claims.
