Higher One Fraudulant Charges Are You Included in This Settlement?

A proposed $15 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Higher One Holdings Inc., Higher One Inc., The Bancorp Bank, Wright Express Financial Services Corporation (now known as WEX Bank), and Taylor Capital Group Inc. regarding the marketing and fees associated with the Higher One OneAccount. If you opened a OneAccount bank account between July 1, 2006 and Aug. 2, 2012, you could be eligible for benefits from the class action settlement.

The Higher One OneAccount class action lawsuit alleges that the defendants failed to disclose the refund disbursement methods available to students for their tuition and financial aid refunds. The plaintiffs also allege the defendants inadequately disclosed fees such as PIN-based transaction fees and ATM fees associated with Higher One accounts.

The defendants deny any wrongdoing but agreed to settle the OneAccount class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and uncertainty of trial.
