Limestone Bank Improper Fees Settlement
Limestone Bank Improper Fees Settlement
Not Accepting Submissions
Peoples Bank has agreed to a $1.1 million settlement to resolve a lawsuit (Cooper v. Peoples Bank) alleging that Limestone Bank (now Peoples Bank) improperly assessed certain overdraft and verification fees on debit card transactions between May 3, 2013 and April 30, 2023. The lawsuit specifically challenged "Authorize Positive, Settle Negative" (APSN) fees—overdraft fees charged on transactions that were authorized when the account had a positive balance but settled when the balance was negative—and "Verify Bank Fees" related to third-party verification processes. Under the terms of the settlement, Peoples Bank has agreed to establish a $950,000 cash fund and to provide debt forgiveness for uncollected fees. These payments will occur automatically as long as customers do not opt out of the settlement.
