Bank Of America 7 Eleven Settlement
Bank of America has agreed to a $2.25 million class action settlement over claims that some customers were charged multiple out-of-network balance inquiry fees at FCTI-owned ATMs inside 7-Eleven stores. The case centers on allegations that customers were charged two out-of-network fees during a single ATM visit when only one balance inquiry was made.

Who May Qualify
The settlement applies to Bank of America accountholders who were assessed more than one out-of-network balance inquiry fee during the same visit to an FCTI-owned ATM located in a 7-Eleven store between May 1, 2018, and Nov. 16, 2021. Reports also note that people who already received payment through the earlier Weiss v. FCTI settlement are excluded from this class. (USA Today report; Top Class Actions report)
Settlement Details
Bank of America denied wrongdoing but agreed to settle the case rather than continue litigation. The total settlement fund is $2.25 million, and individual payouts have not been fixed in advance. Top Class Actions reported that eligible class members will receive a proportional share of the net settlement fund, while USA Today said class members will share the fund equally based on the approved claims process.

What Customers Need To Do
Current Bank of America account holders who received notice about the settlement do not need to file a claim to receive payment. Former account holders, however, must submit a claim form through the settlement website. Top Class Actions listed a claim deadline of June 29, 2026, while USA Today reported July 29 for past account holders, so affected customers should confirm the exact deadline directly through the settlement administrator before acting.

What Comes Next
The final approval hearing is scheduled for Aug. 21, 2026, and the objection or exclusion deadline is July 7, according to the settlement reporting. Until the court signs off and claims are processed, the exact payment amount for each eligible class member remains uncertain. (Top Class Actions; USA Today)
