Net 204 Brokers Left Wells Fargo in the Fourth Quarter
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
Across its private client, independent brokerage and in-bank brokerage channels, Wells Fargo Advisors experienced a net loss of 204 brokers during the fourth quarter of this past year. Recruiters have cited that the fallout is from its parent’s retail banking scandal where Wells reached a $185 million settlement with regulators for creating retail banking and credit card accounts that customers had not authorized.
Although the company’s wealth division had not been implicated in the scandal, the bank has long boasted about brokers’ success at cross-marketing bank loans and deposit accounts to their clients.
