A federal judge has approved a $425 million settlement for Capital One customers over discrepancies in savings account interest rates.
Eligible customers who held a 360 Savings account between September 18, 2019, and June 16, 2025, will automatically receive payments.
The settlement also requires Capital One to match interest rates between its 360 Savings and 360 Performance Savings accounts going forward.
