The Turnaround Story — From 2016 Scandal to 2025 Asset-Cap Removal

Wells Fargo just lived through the most consequential decade in its 170-year history. Understanding the arc — the 2016 fake-accounts scandal, the seven years under a Federal Reserve asset cap, and the historic lifting of that cap in June 2025 — is the single most important context for any 2026 Wells Fargo interview. This module gives you the facts, the framing, and the words to talk about the past without being naive or dismissive.
