As a result, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ordered Bank of America (BAC) to pay more than $100 million to customers and $90 million in penalties.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also ordered Bank of America (BAC) to pay $60 million in fines.
“Bank of America wrongfully withheld credit card rewards, double-dipped on fees, and opened accounts without consent,” CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a statement.
Bank of America noted in an email to CNN that those fees were eliminated last year.
In 2014, it was ordered by the CFPB to pay $727 million in redress to consumers for illegal credit card practices.
