Bank of America announced that it is no longer requiring its customers to resolve disputes using mandatory arbitration. This decision applies to the bank’s consumer credit cards, auto loans, mortgages and deposit accounts. The change will be reflected in future BOA customer agreements.
The move by the bank means consumers can now go to court to resolve disagreements. For more than a decade, banks have included mandatory arbitration clauses as a routine part of their contracts with customers.
