CFPB Drops Lawsuit Against Capital One Over Its Savings Account Rates

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Thursday dismissed its Biden-era lawsuit against Capital One that alleged the bank had cheated customers out of more than $2 billion in savings account interest.

What has happened?

Ten days before President Trump was inaugurated, the watchdog agency filed the lawsuit, claiming Capital One misled customers when it held rates low on its 360 Savings account, while it introduced a higher-yielding 360 Performance Savings account — and didn’t inform holders of the old account about the new product.

The Trump administration plans to keep the CFPB operating, albeit in a streamlined form, according to a federal court motion filed Feb. 24.

CFPB drops additional lawsuits

On Thursday, the CFPB also dropped lawsuits it had brought against Rocket Homes and Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, according to an Associated Press report. These suits, as well as the one against Capital One, were filed under the CFPB’s previous director, Rohit Chopra, who was fired by Trump two weeks after Inauguration Day.

The agency has fined banks for actions such as creating bank accounts for customers without their knowledge, and for charging checking account overdraft fees it has deemed excessive.
