Consumers are suing Citibank, alleging that the bank violated a federal law designed to protect people who use electronic payment methods like debit cards, ATMs, and online transfers. The plaintiffs claim Citibank failed to follow required rules around electronic fund transfers, which may include failing to properly investigate disputed transactions, failing to correct errors in a timely manner, or failing to provide required disclosures and protections to customers. The proposed class is expected to include Citibank customers who experienced unauthorized or erroneous electronic transactions and did not receive the protections and remedies they were legally entitled to under federal law. The lawsuit seeks compensation and other relief on behalf of all affected customers.
The case is in its earliest stage. The defendant has not yet responded. Class certification — the court's decision on whether the case can proceed as a class action — typically takes 12 to 24 months after filing.
