How long payment has taken in other cases
First payments were issued 52 to 875 days after final approval, based on 15 settlements. Half were paid within 119 days. 1 of the 15 waited on appeals after approval.
This is a small sample and a pattern, not a prediction. Your settlement can be faster or slower. This one is at day 166 since approval.
What would change this
- The administrator posts a payment date or says payments have started.
- The court issues a distribution order.
- Someone appeals the approval, which can delay payment.
- A court order changes the amount or the schedule.

Is this settlement legitimate?
The administrator is Epiq, and the official site is suntrustoverdraftclassaction.com. Real notices point there; if a link in a message goes anywhere else, do not use it.
The official site never asks you to pay to file.
