Fidelity Investment data breach
If Fidelity told you your bank account and routing number were exposed in their August 2024 breach, you're covered — but you need to file a claim by July 27, 2026 to get a cash payment. This isn't automatic; skipping the claim means you get nothing.
Payment amount set by the settlement administrator
The settlement provides cash payments to class members who submit valid claims. The exact amount per person hasn't been published — it will depend on how many people file and how the fund is distributed.
📄 Proof requirement not specified here — check the official site for what documentation, if any, a claim needs.

How to file this claim
- Check whether Fidelity notified you that your financial account and routing number were compromised in the August 17–19, 2024 incident. That notification is your clearest sign you're in the class.
- File online at https://fidelitydatasettlement.com/form/claim/ — it's the fastest route.
- Prefer paper? Download the Claim Form at https://cw.simpluris.com/docs/public/downloads/FDC3/CLAIM_FORM and mail it to the Settlement Administrator. You can also call (833) 386-6470 or email info@FidelityDataSettlement.com to get a copy mailed to you.
- Get your claim in before July 27, 2026. That's the hard cutoff.
Watch out for
- Claim deadline: July 27, 2026. Miss it and you're out.
- If you want to keep your right to sue Fidelity separately, you must opt out by June 26, 2026.
- Doing nothing keeps you in the settlement class but gets you zero payment — and still bars you from suing.
- No payout amount is published yet. The settlement site doesn't list individual payment figures.
- The Final Approval Hearing is July 9, 2026. The settlement isn't court-approved yet, so details could still shift.
- Fidelity sent an email notice between April 27–May 1, 2026 with blank name fields. A corrected notice went out shortly after — the content was unchanged.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

Can I still sue Fidelity on my own?
Yes, but only if you opt out by June 26, 2026. After that date you're bound by the settlement and can't pursue your own lawsuit over this incident.
