Scott+Scott is investigating whether members of Discover Financial's board of directors or senior management failed to manage Discover Financial in an acceptable manner, in breach of their fiduciary duties to Discover Financial, and whether Discover Financial and its shareholders have suffered damages as a result.
On September 29, 2023, Discover Financial announced that it had entered into a consent order with the FDIC addressing "shortcomings" in the bank's compliance management system, in part by failing to establish a compliance management system to meet consumer protection laws. On October 26, 2023, Discover Financial disclosed that it was cooperating with an SEC investigation regarding incorrectly classified certain credit card accounts. Discover Financial has allocated $376 million to provide refunds to merchants for this misclassification.
