Levy v. Westfield Bank

If you have or had an account with Westfield Bank and you were charged overdraft fees or non-sufficient funds fees between June 10, 2016, and July 9, 2024, you could receive a payment from a class action settlement.

A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit about fees related to certain transaction types that were charged between June 10, 2016, and July 9, 2024. If you received a Notice, it is because the Defendant’s records indicate that you may have been charged overdraft fees and/or non-sufficient funds fees on (i) ACH transactions that were resubmitted by a merchant after the initial request for payment was declined, and/or (ii) debit card transactions that were authorized with a positive account balance and settled with a negative account balance.

Your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act. Please read below about your legal rights and options.
