Atlantic Union Bank agreed to pay $6.2 million as part of a settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) resolving allegations the bank illegally enrolled and misled customers in its checking account overdraft programs.
Atlantic Union Bank was fined $1.2 million and must pay at least $5 million in redress to thousands of affected consumers, the CFPB announced in a press release Thursday.
