A class action settlement worth nearly $2.4 million is now open for claims following allegations that Union Bank and Trust Co. failed to adequately protect customer data.

Here's what you need to know about the settlement, who may qualify, and how to submit a claim.

1. Union Bank and Trust Co. Data Breach Settlement

Settlement Fund: $2.39 million

Estimated Payout: Varies depending on documented losses and number of valid claims submitted

Who May Qualify: Individuals whose personal information was reportedly compromised in the Union Bank and Trust data breach

Union Bank and Trust Co. has agreed to a nearly $2.4 million class action settlement to resolve claims stemming from a data breach that allegedly exposed customers' sensitive personal information. The lawsuit alleged that the bank failed to implement adequate safeguards to protect the data in its possession and did not provide timely or sufficient notice to affected individuals after the breach occurred.

Union Bank and Trust has not admitted wrongdoing as part of the settlement agreement. The settlement, if approved, would provide compensation to class members who submit valid claims.

Affected individuals may be eligible to recover costs tied to documented out-of-pocket losses resulting from the breach — such as bank fees, credit monitoring expenses, or costs associated with identity theft remediation. Class members who cannot document specific losses may still be eligible for a base cash payment, though the exact amount will depend on the total number of claims filed.

How to claim: Visit the official settlement website to submit a claim form. A link to the claim portal is available through the Top Class Actions settlement page.

Key Takeaways

• Documentation can increase your payout. Class members who can provide receipts or records showing out-of-pocket expenses tied to the breach may be eligible to recover more than those submitting claims without supporting documentation.
• You may not need a receipt to file. Data breach settlements often allow claimants to recover a base amount without proving specific financial harm — check the settlement terms for eligibility details.
• Watch your inbox. If you were a Union Bank and Trust customer at the time of the breach, you may have already received a class notice by mail or email. That notice typically includes a unique ID that can simplify the claims process.
• Deadlines are firm. Once a claims deadline passes, late submissions are generally not accepted. If you believe you may qualify, reviewing the settlement details sooner rather than later is advisable.
• The settlement is not an admission. Union Bank and Trust has denied the allegations. The settlement resolves the litigation without a finding of liability.

Data breach settlements like this one are increasingly common as financial institutions and other organizations face scrutiny over their data security practices. Studies suggest that consumers whose sensitive financial information is exposed face elevated risks of fraud and identity theft, underscoring why timely filing can matter for those who experienced real-world harm.

If you believe your personal information was affected by the Union Bank and Trust data breach, reviewing the full settlement terms through the official claim information page may help you understand your options before any deadline passes.
