Citi to issue refunds to some Iowa customers

DES MOINES — A major credit card company has reached a settlement to resolve a claim it overcharged interest.

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller announced Citibank will pay around 14-hundred Iowa customers refunds totaling 216-thousand dollars. Iowa and four other states alleged Citibank failed to properly reevaluate and reduce the annual percentage rate for certain consumer credit card accounts consistent with federal law from February 2011 to August 2017.
