AG Ellison joined an alliance of 49 attorneys general in announcing an settlement with payment processor ACI Worldwide over a 2021 testing error that led to the attempted unauthorized withdrawal of $2.3 billion from the accounts of over 477,000 mortgage-holders.
As part of the settlement, ACI will pay $10 million to the states, including $119,718.60 to Minnesota.
