If your information was affected by the Data Incident involving FinWise Bank on or about May 31, 2024, you may be entitled to Settlement Class Member Benefits from a Settlement.
A $2,800,000 Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against FinWise Bank, FinWise Bancorp, and American First Finance (together, “Defendants”) related to a Data Incident experienced by FinWise Bank on or about May 31, 2024, and implicating systems that contained Settlement Class Members’ Private Information. The Private Information may include, but is not limited to, some combination of Settlement Class Members’ full names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and customer account numbers.
The Settlement Class includes all living, natural persons residing in the United States whose Private Information was affected by the Data Incident, including all individuals who were sent a notice of the Data Incident.
If you are a Settlement Class Member, you can submit a Claim Form for the following Settlement Class Member Benefits:
Documented Losses Payment: You may submit a Claim Form and provide reasonable documentation for losses fairly traceable to the Data Incident for up to $5,000 per Settlement Class Member; OR
Cash Fund Payment: Instead of a Documented Losses Payment, without providing documentation, you may submit a Claim Form to receive a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) Cash Fund Payment;
AND
Credit Monitoring: In addition to a Documented Losses Payment or Cash Fund Payment, you may also submit a Claim Form to receive two years of three bureau Credit Monitoring services.
If the total amount of approved Documented Losses Payments exceeds the Net Settlement Fund, there will be no Cash Fund Payments, and the Documented Loss Payments will be subject to a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) decrease.
The Court must decide whether to approve the Settlement, Class Counsel’s Application for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, and Service Awards. No Settlement Class Member Benefits will be provided unless the Court finally approves the Settlement.
