Summary

Bank of America agreed to pay $72.5 million to settle claims that it facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operations through banking services. The lawsuit alleged the bank ignored red flags while processing trafficking-related payments and transactions.

Details
A plaintiff alleged Bank of America maintained accounts used for trafficking payments and overlooked suspicious activity including her young age and foreign status while allowing large wire transfers from Epstein. The settlement was reached through mediation in March 2026 after a New York federal court case. Bank of America denied wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to resolve the matter. This follows similar settlements of $290 million against JPMorgan Chase and $75 million against Deutsche Bank.
Who's Eligible?

Women and girls who were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein or his associates, including those who received money or items of value in exchange for sexual contact
