WIth a history of risk management failures, Wells Fargo can add another oops to the list - Wells is refunding "tens of millions” of dollars to customers for incorrect account charges. Read the details below and stories on the emerging risks of mobile banking, Congress working to enhance oversight of third party service provider, lessons learned from the different ways Chili’s and Macy’s handled data breaches and more.

Industry News for the Week of July 23

Well, well, Wells, what have we here?

Wells refunding 'add-on' charges

Wells Fargo is refunding “tens of millions” of dollars to customers for products such as pet insurance that were added to accounts without their full understanding, The Wall Street Journal said, citing “people familiar.” Bank of America and Citigroup have made settlements for similar incursions. But San Francisco-based Wells, which has known about the “add-ons” since at least 2015, has been beset with other scandals. 

Wells Fargo:

  • Took a $619 charge in the second quarter for refunding customers it overcharged in its wealth-management, foreign-exchange, auto and mortgage lending units.
  • Agreed to a $1 billion settlement with regulators in April for risk-management failures.
  • Submitted to an unprecedented penalty by the Federal Reserve in February to cap Wells' balance sheet after it opened 3.5 million fake customer accounts.
