CenterState Bank customers have 21 days to file a claim and receive a portion of a nearly $2.7 million class-action settlement with the bank after allegations of illegal overdraft fees.

The settlement, worth $2.65 million, will benefit CenterState Bank customers who had a checking account with the bank and were charged certain overdraft fees on debit transactions between April 6, 2015, and May 31, 2020, or were charged insufficient funds or overdraft fees on ACH debits or checks between Aug. 18, 2015, and Aug. 21, 2020.

Eligible recipients of the settlement will receive a pro-rata share of the net settlement fund based on the amount they were charged in illegal bank fees. Class members can receive a cash payment, account credit, or forgiveness of uncollected fees, depending on their situation.
