Mandatory Arbitration Clause

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Arbitration removes your ability to have a judge or jury decide your case, typically favors companies over consumers, and limits your ability to appeal outcomes.

Consumer impact

Stash users are subject to mandatory arbitration and waive their right to participate in class action lawsuits, significantly limiting legal recourse if something goes wrong. Stash may unilaterally modify, suspend, or terminate services or fee structures without prior notice, and users' only remedy is to cancel their account. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Stash within 30 days of first accepting the Terms.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Within 30 days
    Send a written notice stating your name, account information, and that you are opting out of the arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting the Terms. Check https://ask.stash.com for the current mailing address for legal notices.

Applicable agencies

    The CFPB has regulatory authority over mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer financial service contracts and accepts complaints about unfair practices by financial services companies.
