Capital One's twin savings accounts

According to the complaints, Capital One kept 360 Savings at 0.30% from December 2020 while its near-identical 360 Performance Savings rose to as much as 4.35%, and staff guidance said to mention the better account only if a customer asked. In November 2025 the judge rejected the first settlement; the second, approved in April 2026, pays $425 million and puts both accounts on the same rate. Capital One disputed the claims and admitted nothing, and one appeal is still open. The full case file, from the public record: the promise, the switch, the freeze, the paper trail, the cost, the rejected deal and the fix.

What the record is. The rates, the staff guidance and the $10,000 example are allegations in the New York Attorney General's and the CFPB's complaints, never tried; the $10,000 example is New York's own illustration, and the CFPB dropped its case in February 2025. Nothing was decided on liability, and Capital One admitted nothing. What the court decided was the settlements: it rejected the first in November 2025 and approved the second in April 2026. The rate-match estimate is the judge's, from the hearing.
