What is this Case About: U.S. Bancorp (USB) fined $37.5 Million for Illegally Exploiting Consumers’ Personal Data to Open Sham Accounts for Unsuspecting Customers

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (a) U.S. Bank created sales pressure on its employees that led them to open credit cards, lines of credit, and deposit accounts without consumers’ knowledge and consent; (b) since at least 2015, U.S. Bank and by extension, U.S. Bancorp, was aware of such unauthorized conduct and that it was violating relevant regulations and laws aimed at protecting its consumers; and (c) U.S. Bancorp failed to properly monitor its employees from engaging in such unlawful conduct, detect and stop the misconduct, and identify and remediate harmed consumers. The foregoing subjected the Company to a foreseeable risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny or investigation.

On July 28, 2022, the truth about U.S. Bancorp’s practices was disclosed when the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a Consent Order and fined U.S. Bank $37.5 million for illegally exploiting consumers’ personal data to open sham accounts for unsuspecting customers. On this news, the price of U.S. Bancorp stock declined 4% to close at $46.12 on July 28, 2022.
