The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has filed a lawsuit against Walmart and Branch Messenger, accusing them of coercing over a million delivery drivers into using accounts that resulted in more than $10 million in junk fees. The CFPB claims Walmart threatened to fire drivers unless they accepted payments through Branch accounts opened without their consent, leading to delays and fees in accessing their wages. The agency aims to stop the alleged misconduct, recover lost funds for affected consumers, and impose fines.
