April 5, 2021
By Steve Larson

Fifth Third Bank, a Cincinnati-based lender, was accused of violating the Truth in Lending Act by a group of class-action plaintiffs. The class-action was certified March 26, 2021 and paves the way for several hundred thousand customers to join if they took out an Early Access loan prior to May 1, 2013. The suit‘s complaint alleges that the percentage rate due on the Early Access loans were allegedly misrepresented and that the loans’ annual percentage rate was up to 15 times higher than what Fifth Third Bank stated to their customers.
