IF YOU WERE CHARGED OVERDRAFT FEES BY WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. FOR A TRANSACTION WITH UBER OR LYFT, YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A PAYMENT FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.

A $10,536,098 Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit that alleged that Wells Fargo improperly assessed overdraft fees arising from non-recurring transactions for Uber/Lyft rides by customers who did not opt into Wells Fargo’s Debit Card Overdraft Service. Wells Fargo denies any wrongdoing or liability. The Court has not decided who is right.

The Settlement Class includes all present and former holders of Demand Deposit Accounts (defined herein) with Wells Fargo who were not opted into Wells Fargo’s Debit Card Overdraft Service at the time they were charged an overdraft fee by Wells Fargo for a transaction with Uber or Lyft from January 1, 2014, to February 28, 2018. All eligible Settlement Class Members will automatically receive a payment via check sent through U.S. Mail.

Summary of Your Legal Rights and Options in This Lawsuit Settlement
Do Nothing And Receive A Payment If you are entitled to a payment under the Settlement, you do not have to do anything to receive it. If the Court approves the Settlement and it becomes final and effective, and you remain in the Settlement Class, you will automatically receive a payment by check and you will give up your right to bring your own lawsuit.
Exclude Yourself From The Settlement If you exclude yourself from the Settlement, you will receive no benefit from the Settlement. This is the only option that allows you to retain your right to bring any other lawsuit against Wells Fargo, Uber, or Lyft about the claims in this case.
Object If you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement, you may write to the Court if you do not like the terms of the Settlement.
Go To A Hearing If you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement, you may ask to speak in Court about the fairness of the Settlement.

These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—along with the material terms of the settlement are explained in the Notice.
