This development marks the thirteenth consent order closed by Wells Fargo’s regulators since 2019 and the seventh since the beginning of the year.
The termination of these agreements signifies a step forward in resolving regulatory issues that have overshadowed the bank in recent years. Investors reacted to the news with cautious optimism, reflecting in the slight uptick in the company’s stock. The termination is part of Wells Fargo’s ongoing efforts to address and close historical regulatory issues.
