Citigroup Seeks Dismissal of Racial-Discrimination Lawsuit Over ATM Fees

Jul 12, 2024, 03:44 PM

Citigroup has requested a U.S. judge to dismiss a racial-discrimination lawsuit that alleges the bank violated federal civil rights law by waiving ATM fees for customers of minority-owned banks. The lawsuit, filed by a conservative legal firm, claims that Citigroup's decision to waive these fees amounted to racial discrimination. Citigroup has rejected the racial bias claim, arguing that the fee waiver was intended to support minority-owned banks and their customers.
