Charlie Scharf, Wells Fargo’s CEO, who joined the company in 2019, said of today’s news:
“I have repeatedly said that implementing a risk and control framework appropriate for a bank of our size and complexity is our top priority, and closing consent orders is an important sign of our progress. This is the sixth consent order that our regulators have terminated since 2019.
Confirmation from the OCC that we have effectively implemented what was required is a result of the hard work of so many of our employees, and I’d like to thank everyone at Wells Fargo involved for their dedication to transforming how we do business. We are a stronger, better Wells Fargo for our customers and communities, and we will not lose sight of the remaining work to do.
Our risk and control work remains our top priority.”
