The $167.5M ATM Surcharge Claim Window is Officially OPEN! 💸
The claim window for the $167.5 million Burke v. Visa nonbank ATM surcharge settlement just opened, and filing a claim is completely free.
Here is the quick breakdown of everything you need to know:
The Fund: $167.5 Million (funded by Visa and Mastercard).
Who Qualifies: Anyone in the U.S. who was charged a surcharge (or access fee) for a cash withdrawal using an ATM or PIN-debit card at an independent ATM between October 24, 2007, and August 14, 2026.
What is an "Independent ATM"? These are the machines not owned by a bank. Think of the standalone ATMs in convenience stores, gas stations, dive bars, hotel lobbies, and small retailers.
Proof Required: None. You do not need receipts or bank statements to file your claim today (though you submit your estimated transaction count under penalty of perjury).
The Deadline: February 10, 2027.
Because this settlement covers nearly 19 years of ATM usage, the potential class size is massive. Payments will be distributed on a pro rata basis, meaning your payout will depend on how many qualifying transactions you claim compared to everyone else.
⚠️ A Quick Warning on Scams: Because we dig deep into the court dockets at Open Class Actions, I want to make sure you're aware of a serious fraud risk happening right now. There are three parallel ATM cases currently in the courts. A completely different one (the Mackmin settlement for bank-owned ATMs) recently had a wave of scammers sending out fake digital payment emails to consumers.
Please remember: Claims for this new $167.5M Burke settlement literally just opened. No payments are being sent out yet. If you get an email asking you to "claim your Burke ATM funds" right now, or asking for banking credentials or a fee, it is a scam.
Where to File & Read the Full Details: I’ve put together a comprehensive guide on the site breaking down exactly how the pro rata math works, the deadlines, and the link to the official court-approved administrator website where you can safely submit your claim.
