CFPB alleges Walmart and Branch Messenger illegally opened costly deposit accounts in drivers' names.

The agency claims drivers were forced to use the accounts to get paid and were deceived about how to access their earnings.

Drivers had to follow a complicated process to get their pay, then faced further fees if they needed to transfer the money into another account.

Walmart did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
