Venmo Lawsuit: Claim Deadline Has Passed

What is the Venmo Lawsuit about?

Labaton Keller Sucharow is investigating potential privacy and consumer protection claims involving PayPal-owned Venmo. The page alleges that when Venmo users link a personal bank account, the bank verification screen may create the misleading impression the user is logging into their bank directly, while the credentials are routed to Plaid (a third-party fintech). Plaid is alleged to use the collected credentials to access and collect sensitive financial information. Eligible Venmo users with a personal bank account linked may be able to pursue a private arbitration claim and potentially recover up to $500 or more depending on state of residence (amounts may vary and are not capped on the page). Attorney advertising intake: this is not a settled class action. Payout is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Submitting information does not guarantee eligibility, attorney representation, an attorney-client relationship, or any recovery; those outcomes depend on law-firm review, applicable law, and a separate agreement with counsel.

Who qualifies for the Venmo Lawsuit?

You may qualify for the Venmo Lawsuit if you meet the eligibility requirements below. Eligibility is finally determined by the settlement administrator, not by Payout.

• Have a Venmo account linked to a personal bank account
• Be a U.S. resident (eligible residents in all 50 states + D.C., per the page)
• Sign an attorney-client agreement with Labaton Keller Sucharow to pursue the claim
• Provide additional information and upload documents through the secure client portal as requested
