The securities class action alleges that U.S. Bancorp made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that the Company's subsidiary, U.S. Bank, secretly and improperly pressured its employees to open sham accounts for consumers, thereby exposing the Company to significant risk of regulatory scrutiny and actions.

On July 28, 2022, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a Consent Order and fined U.S. Bank $37.5 million for opening unauthorized accounts in consumers' names, without their consent or knowledge. On this news, the price of U.S. Bancorp shares fell $2.09, or 4.34%, to close at $46.12 per share on July 28, 2022, on elevated trading volume.
