ATLANTA – Attorney General Chris Carr and 49 attorneys general have entered into a $10 million multistate 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 mortgage-holders. The state of Georgia will receive $334,300.27 under the terms of this settlement.
“ACI’s testing error impacted the financial stability of nearly 20,000 hard-working Georgians,” Carr said in a news release. “This settlement helps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect consumer data and prevent this type of mistake from ever happening again.”
