Wells Fargo CEO resigns position on Fed advisory body

The announcement came two days after Stumpf faced bipartisan outrage from a Senate panel over the alleged misconduct, believed to have gone on at the second-largest US bank for years. She says she often got the same response whenever she said a customer didn’t need another credit card. New credit card applications and consumer borrowing trends can weight on an individual’s credit report.

But Baker said he gets that people are “fired up” about “what went on” at Wells Fargo. Republican David Vitter, chairman of the Senate Small Business Committee, has asked the Small Business Administration for more information about enforcement actions it has taken against the bank as part of his own investigation.

The letter was signed by Senate Democrats Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden of OR and Maria Cantwell of Washington. “How am I going to meet my goals?” said Mikey McGinn, who worked for Wells Fargo as a teller and a banker from 2007 until July of this year. The average Wells Fargo household had on average more than six products with the bank, a metric Wells top executives would highlight every quarter with investors. Fellow Senate Finance panelist and Democrat Jon Tester told Stumpf, “You have done something I’ve never seen in 10 years: You have united this committee – and not in a good way”.

Warren hammered Stumpf not only over the scandal itself, but over his decision to blame rank-and-file, often underpaid, bank employees, his lack of accountability and the compensation enjoyed by him and other senior bank executives.

Stumpf, who has been Wells Fargo’s CEO since 2007, has held a seat on the advisory council since 2015, serving as the selection of the San Francisco Fed. Specifically, employees were fired “in retaliation for shining light” on various illegal schemes. Both said they also developed sleep issues related to their jobs. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, saying Stumpf would be engaging in “malpractice” if the bank didn’t “claw back” money that it had paid to executives during the period that the accounts were being opened without customers’ permission. Stumpf said he would “take it under advisement”.

You might not think that Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf has much to be thankful for these days, what with his mauling by Elizabeth Warren & co. on live television yesterday. The other signer was former Democratic presidential candidate and Sen.

In response to the senators’ request to the DOL, Wells Fargo spokeswoman Jennifer G. Dunn told ABC News today that “our team members are our greatest asset”.
