Walmart and Branch Messenger accused of forcing delivery drivers into using accounts that cost them $10 million in junk fees.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says Walmart told drivers it would fire them unless they collected their pay in accounts opened without their consent.

Walmart says it will "vigorously defend the company before a court that, unlike the CFPB , honors the due process of law".
