That Wells Fargo has been described as a “corporate recidivist”, the most problematic repeat offenders of all banks; and we are donating $60 Million to an Anti-Recidivism Program for criminal offenders??? 😏
Tech Managers are not Managers

Great job offshoring
We can see from the lost deposits how good that solution is. Keep it up Charlie..
paper paper everywhere but not a control in sight
Wells is such a feast for the fraudsters. It is now public knowledge that despite spending billions on RCSA they don’t have basic controls for opening fake accounts, fraudulent payments, missing deposits … risk management is a con here … this bank is... — read more
