If you have an account with Venmo, American Express or Credit Karma, you may be owed money.

Plaid settled a class-action lawsuit in 2021 that accused the company was collecting more financial data than was needed.

Plaid acted as a middleman between customers and companies like Betterment, Mint, Robinhood, Acorns and Coinbase.

The lawsuit also alleged that Plaid obtained log-in credentials from users.

Under the settlement, Plaid is required to pay $58 million to customers.

Plaid owes money to 98 million customers, so pay outs are expected to be less than $1.

With the settlement, Plaid did not admit to any wrongdoing.

The settlement affects customers who had accounts between 2013 and 2021.

Claims must be submitted by April 28, 2022.
