Fidelity Investments $2.5M Data Breach Class Action Settlement

People notified by Fidelity Investments that their information was exposed in the August 2024 data breach, or whose account and routing numbers were compromised. You need the Login ID & PIN from your notice. The ~$100 cash needs no proof; California residents get an extra $50.

• Notified by Fidelity of the August 2024 breach (or had your account/routing number compromised)
• Have the Login ID & PIN from your mailed/emailed notice (required to file online)
• Receipts required only for the up-to-$5,000 documented-loss tier; one claim per shared account

Fidelity (FMR LLC / Fidelity Brokerage Services) agreed to a $2.5 million settlement (In re: Fidelity Investments Data Breach Litigation, District of Massachusetts) over a breach in which, between August 17 and 19, 2024, an unauthorized third party accessed personal information on Fidelity's network. Exposed data may include names, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers and routing numbers, and driver's license information. Fidelity is settling without admitting wrongdoing. Note: this is Fidelity Investments (FMR LLC) — unrelated to Fidelity National Information Services (FIS).

Who's excluded: For joint accountholders sharing one compromised account/routing number, only one claim is permitted. Self-prepared notes alone aren't sufficient for documented losses; expenses already reimbursed don't qualify.

• Pro rata cash — ~$100 (no proof)

• California CCPA — +$50 (no proof)
