What happened
BECU allegedly violated Washington law by charging overdraft and NSF (non-sufficient funds) fees to customers when they had sufficient ledger balance to cover transactions, and by charging multiple NSF fees based on the same transaction. The settlement compensates affected members for these improper fees.
Do you qualify?
Washington residents who were BECU members and were charged an overdraft or NSF fee between August 2, 2015 and July 1, 2020 when their ledger balance was sufficient, or were charged multiple NSF fees on the same transaction between August 2, 2013 and July 1, 2020.

Common questions
- How much does the Marical v. BECU Settlement pay?
- The total settlement fund is $6M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- Do I need proof of purchase for the Marical v. BECU Settlement?
- No. You can file without a receipt or proof of purchase. You attest that you qualify and submit basic details, though claims are still subject to review and submitting a false claim is a crime.
- Is the Marical v. BECU Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at nsfsettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- When will payments from the Marical v. BECU Settlement be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for September 24, 2021; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
