What's the Numi Release Card Class Action?

A $4,000,000 class action lawsuit has been settled over allegations that certain prepaid debit cards (also known as "release cards") issued to prisoners were predatory. The Numi release card class action centers around alleged illegal fees charged by Numi Financial and Central National Bank on prepaid debit cards issued to individuals released from detention facilities. Specifically, the class action alleges that the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (also known as the "EFTA") was violated.

The class action lawsuit alleged that certain Numi prepaid debit cards forced people to accept electronic fund transfers they did not authorize. This practice was allegedly illegal under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) because:

• People were required to accept these cards they did not request in order to get their own money back.
• Fees were charged on the cards, including maintenance fees just for possessing the unrequested cards.
• The cards came with non-negotiable terms that people had no choice but to accept.

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

The total settlement amount for the Numi release card class apache_get_version is $4 million.
