Zelle Fraud Claims
Truist faces class action claims alleging it failed to adequately protect customers from Zelle fraud and refused to reimburse losses when customers were deceived into authorizing transfers. Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the legal dispute centers on whether fraud-induced authorized transfers constitute 'unauthorized' transfers requiring bank reimbursement.
A 2023 Senate investigation found major Zelle-owning banks including Truist reimbursed only a fraction of reported fraud losses despite profiting from Zelle's platform.
Overdraft Fee Claims
Truist also faces claims over charging overdraft fees on transactions that didn't create negative balances, transaction reordering to maximize fees, and inadequate disclosure of how the overdraft system works. CFPB regulatory action against other banks for similar practices supports these consumer claims.
Who Qualifies
Truist customers who suffered uncompensated Zelle fraud losses, or who were charged overdraft fees they believe were improper, may have EFTA and consumer protection claims.
Status 2026
Truist Zelle and overdraft litigation is active. No comprehensive settlement has been announced.
