Wells Fargo & Co. is one of the most mentioned companies in the U.S. across all news items in the last 12 hours, according to Factiva data. Wells Fargo’s key regulator said it closed the 2016 consent order placed on the bank for opening fake accounts, the subject of a yearslong scandal. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said Thursday the bank had made sufficient progress revamping its systems that guard against customer harm. Wells Fargo shares rose on the news. The bank remains under regulatory scrutiny, including an order from the Federal Reserve that restricts its growth until the regulator is convinced it is being run safely. When Chief Executive Charlie Scharf arrived at Wells Fargo in 2019, the bank was under 12 consent orders. It has now closed six of them, though also added two more during his tenure.
