Chase Zelle Fraud Claims
Chase is a co-owner of Zelle operator Early Warning Services. Consumers defrauded through Zelle who Chase refused to reimburse have filed EFTA class actions. The dispute centers on whether fraud-induced 'authorized' transfers are 'unauthorized' transfers requiring reimbursement. A 2023 Senate investigation found major Zelle banks including Chase reimbursed only a fraction of fraud losses.
Overdraft Fee Claims
Chase faces class actions over: multiple fees per day; fees on transactions not creating negative balances; transaction reordering to maximize fees; and inadequate disclosure. The CFPB has taken action against other banks for similar practices and Chase has modified some practices, but class claims for earlier periods continue.
Who Qualifies
Chase 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
Chase Zelle and overdraft litigation is active. No comprehensive settlement on current claims has been announced.
