Some 40,000 people so far have agreed to participate in a class action against National Australia (NAB) over exception fees. The deadline for taking part in the class action is 27 January 2015, and NAB indicated in late 2014 that it will seek to negotiate a settlement. Nine other banks are involved in a broader class action lawsuit over their fees. It is estimated that the banks could face a total payout of up to $A240m if they lose the case
