Loosing more key people not sure how we are going to manage going forward

SVB is why Scharf and his Chase funkies must go.
Just wait until it becomes public the conflict of interest SVB and venture capitalists had. People are going to be questioning why what they were doing was ever legal. Scharf wants to model Wells Fargo be more like a fintech. The fintech game is... — read more

Is it true Regional Banks don't do Stress Testing?

To Wells Fargo's Benefit
The SVB problem (and soon other banks in same risk portfolio) is a welcome reprieve for WF. A break in media attention after 7 years of bad news opens a window to take advantage of the situation. Maybe it is simply changing perceptions, maybe it is... — read more

SVB job on the line?
Ever since he took over tech there has been one issue or another. He should be fired for the incompetence.
The wheels are coming off the stagecoach!
With respect to the latest fiasco, affecting customer deposits - I'm betting the A-team was laid off; the B-team is what is running the app show. And, since with agile the only concern is working from point-a to point-b and nothing else matters, we... — read more

Hey TK ! Are you Dancing Now?
Wonder if TK the poster child for SVB cheerleading will own this or blame others . Maybe less dancing and more working would be good for #bankontech . Wonder if oneCT will mean TK will offer up her job or someone else’s job.
