American Banking Systems Abs data breach settlement
American Banking Systems Abs settled a data breach claim for $1.7 million, with up to $5,000 per person. The claim window closed on September 6, 2022, so this one can no longer be claimed — but new settlements open all the time, and some are paying out right now. The free check tells you in seconds whether your email is in a breach that still pays.

Who was covered
The settlement benefits individuals whose personal information was compromised in the ABS data breach in October and November 2020.
Where to claim
The administrator’s site is ABSDataSecurityIncidentSettlement.com. The window is closed, so it is there for the record, not to file.

Being in the breach is not the same as being in the class. Class membership usually turns on having received the company’s own notice letter, and only the settlement administrator can confirm it. We are not lawyers, we take no fee from any claim, and we never file on anyone’s behalf.
