TD Bank Settlement: $15.9 Million Approved for Insufficient Fund Fees Refund

 

The Ontario Superior Court has given the green light to a $15.9 million class-action lawsuit settlement related to TD Bank Group’s non-sufficient fund fees. This settlement aims to compensate customers who were double-charged a $48 fee. The issue of such fees has come under scrutiny, with the federal government pushing for lower charges. For lead plaintiff Tyler Dufault, being 45 cents short on a PayPal bill resulted in a whopping $96 in fees from TD. Approximately 105,000 people who faced similar double-charges are eligible for compensation, and TD has also agreed to amend some practices around these fees. Other major Canadian banks are also facing similar class actions regarding double-charges.
