If you've been a customer of Wintrust Bank and believe you've been unfairly charged over the past six years, a lawyer can guide you on your eligibility for arbitration.

Investigation into Wintrust Bank's Overdraft & NSF Practices

Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is open to accepting cases against Wintrust Bank for their supposed unjust overdraft and NSF practices. Wintrust Community Bank has over 150 locations scattered across Chicago, southern Wisconsin, and northwest Indiana. Despite marketing themselves as “true community banks”, customers are accusing them of exploiting resources akin to larger corporations.

Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is simplifying the process for clients to express their concerns and seek redress. The firm is filing arbitrations on behalf of qualified clients who have fallen victim to unfair overdraft practices, which have siphoned off millions from bank customers nationwide. Attorney fees are recouped from the bank in cases that result in a win. If you are interested in verifying your qualification for a refund of fees, you can submit your claim to begin the process.

Impact of Arbitration Clauses on Class Actions

Class action lawsuits draw public attention to the involved company and have been effective in compelling companies to act ethically. However, facing a class action could cost banks millions. To sidestep this, US banks have started to include arbitration clauses in their account agreements, which customers must sign. These clauses require that customers channel their grievances through private arbitration rather than class actions. It seems banks have presumed that they are completely shielded from accountability as customers often drop their complaints upon realizing they must go through arbitration. We challenge this assumption.
