- Wells Fargo Receives Heavy Fine
-
- On September 8, 2016, Wells Fargo is fined $190 million for pushing customers into fee-generating accounts that they did not request. Wells Fargo is currently the largest United States bank by market capitalization and has been envied in the banking industry for its ability to sell multiple products to the same customer. The fine is the largest ever levied by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; of the $185 million in penalties, the CFPB will receive $100 million. The remaining $5 million will go to customers affected by the scandal.
