Dapeer Law, P.A. is investigating a potential class action against Savers Bank, a Massachusetts community bank headquartered in Southbridge, on behalf of customers whose debit card numbers may have been exposed through a third-party merchant security breach reported in 2026.
Who may qualify
You may be eligible to participate in a class action if any of the following applies:
- You received a data breach notification letter from Savers Bank dated May 2026.
- You noticed unauthorized charges or other suspicious activity on a Savers Bank debit card.
- You held a Savers Bank debit card that was identified in the notice as involved in the merchant incident.

What happened
According to a notice filed with the Massachusetts Attorney General on June 23, 2026, Mastercard International notified Savers Bank that an unidentified merchant had experienced a security breach involving payment-card data. A subsequent review determined that the debit card numbers of four Savers Bank customers, all Massachusetts residents, were involved.
Savers Bank began notifying affected customers on or around May 27, 2026. The notice states that the exposed information was limited to debit card numbers, and that no names, Social Security numbers, or account balances were reported as involved. The bank says it has seen no evidence of fraud to date. Savers Bank did not offer complimentary credit monitoring, and instead advised customers to place free fraud alerts and review their account statements closely.
Because the breach occurred at a third-party merchant rather than within Savers Bank's own systems, the cause and full scope are still being evaluated. Whether the merchant and the card networks involved met applicable data-security and notification standards, and whether affected customers face continuing fraud exposure, are among the issues under review.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter documents that your card was involved and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Place a fraud alert or security freeze
Because Savers Bank did not offer credit monitoring, consider placing a free 90-day fraud alert or a security freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Massachusetts residents may place or lift a security freeze free of charge. Taking this step does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide. To close a compromised card immediately, call the Savers Bank ATM Department at 1-508-765-7345 or the Hot Card Service Center at 1-800-554-8969.

Common questions
I received a data breach letter from Savers Bank. What should I do? +
Activate your replacement debit card and destroy the old one, review your account statements carefully for the next 12 to 24 months, report any unauthorized charges to Savers Bank at 1-508-765-7345 or 1-800-554-8969, consider placing a free fraud alert with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and contact a data breach attorney for a free consultation.
Am I eligible to join a class action against Savers Bank? +
If you received a breach notice from Savers Bank, you are likely eligible for a free case evaluation. Eligibility depends on your state of residence, whether your card number was identified in the notice, and any losses you have suffered. Customers who saw unauthorized charges may have especially strong claims.
How much money could I receive from a class action lawsuit? +
Data breach class action recoveries vary significantly. Settlements typically range from a few hundred dollars for basic out-of-pocket losses to several thousand dollars for documented identity theft, with class size, damages, and negotiation all affecting the final amount. No payout is guaranteed, and this investigation has not yet resulted in a settlement.
What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
According to the notice filed with the Massachusetts Attorney General, the exposed information was limited to debit card numbers. No names, Social Security numbers, or account balances were reported as involved. Your individual notice letter should confirm whether your card was affected.
Did Savers Bank offer free credit monitoring? +
No. Savers Bank did not offer complimentary credit monitoring. Instead, it advised customers to place free fraud alerts with the credit bureaus and to review their account statements closely. Doing so does not waive your right to pursue a claim.

The Massachusetts Attorney General filing lists four affected customers, all Massachusetts residents. This page will be updated if additional information becomes available.
Is there a deadline to take legal action? +
Yes. Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state and legal theory, typically ranging from one to six years. Waiting can permanently bar your claim. Contact us as soon as possible for a free evaluation.
