Capital One Settlement: Eligible Customers to Receive Payments by Early 2025

When a big company makes a mistake that affects its customers, sometimes it has to pay money to fix things. This is called a settlement. Right now, Capital One Bank is giving money to people who were hurt by a data breach. If you used Capital One in 2019, you might get a payment. Let’s break this down in a simple way.

What Happened with Capital One Bank?

In 2019, someone hacked Capital One’s computer system and stole private information of more than 100 million customers. This included names, addresses, credit scores, and more.

Because this was a big problem, Capital One agreed to a $190 million settlement to help people who were affected by the hack.

Who Can Get the Money?

You can get money if:

• You were a Capital One customer between 2015 and 2019.
• Your personal information was leaked during the data breach.
• You filed a valid claim before the deadline (August 22, 2022).

Even if you didn’t lose any money, you might still get something just for being part of the group that was affected.

How Much Will You Get?

The payment depends on a few things:

• Most people will get around $300 or less.
• If you had expenses or lost money because of the hack, you could get up to $25,000, but you need to show proof.

When Will You Get the Money?

The payout date is expected to be in late 2024 or early 2025. The court has given final approval, and now the settlement team is preparing to send out the checks or direct deposits.
