Judge Finalizes $425 Million Capital One Settlement With Automatic Payouts, Rate Parity

The deal forces Capital One to match rates on its two 360 savings products to remedy years of confusion over lower yields.

Overview

  • Judge David Novak approved the $425 million settlement this week, closing a nearly two‑year case over Capital One’s handling of its 360 savings accounts.
  • The court previously rejected an earlier proposal as inadequate, which led to a larger cash fund and stronger terms for customers.
  • Customers qualify if they held a 360 Savings account at any time from September 18, 2019 to June 16, 2025.
  • Payments are set to go out automatically in the next month or two, so eligible customers do not need to file a claim.
  • The agreement requires Capital One to lift the 360 Savings rate to the 360 Performance Savings rate after years when the older account paid about 0.3% as the newer one reached up to 4.35%.
