WASHINGTON — More than 3.5 million Discover credit card customers will share $200 million in refunds in the wake of a federal investigation that determined the bank tricked people into signing up for payment protection plans and other add-on services.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. found that Discover Financial Services telemarketers often talked faster when explaining fees and terms as they pitched the services, leading customers to think there was no additional fee, the regulators said Monday.
The services cost about $3 to $10 a month.
Banks have been searching for new sources of revenue in the face of a tough economy and tighter regulations. Bankrate.com said Monday that banks have significantly boosted the average required minimum balance for free checking accounts to $723 this year, and have raised other fees, such as ATM surcharges, to record highs.
But sometimes that search runs afoul of regulators.
