Allegation
Putative class action against a bank.

Plaintiffs also bring various claims for violations of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. § 1693 et seq.), violations of CA Unfair Competition Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200, et seq.), negligence, negligent performance of contract, negligent failure to warn, breach of contract, breach of contract (third-party beneficiaries), breach of implied contract, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
