Bank of America will pay $250mn to settle charges over credit card and banking abuses that include opening accounts for consumers without their consent and repeat overdraft fees, US financial watchdogs said.

Customers will be reimbursed roughly $100mn and Bank of America will pay $150mn in fines as part of the settlement announced on Tuesday with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

"Bank of America wrongfully withheld credit card rewards, double-dipped on fees, and opened accounts without consent," said CFPB director Rohit Chopra in a statement."
