Wells Fargo Receives SEC Wells

February 28, 2012
'Wells gets a Wells', courtesy of the SEC, which is poised to file charges against the bank relating to its disclosures in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) offerings, according to Tuesday's annual Form 10-K filing.  SF-based Wells Fargo, the 4th-largest U.S. bank by assets, said it continues to provide information requested by various agencies in unspecified investigations.  A Wells Fargo spokesperson declined to comment further. The SEC's MBS-related investigations reportedly focus on whether Wells Fargo may have violated fair lending laws in originating home loans, or whether it properly disclosed risks and facts about residential mortgage-backed securities. Wells Fargo is the largest originator of home loans in the U.S. For further details:  [Reuters, 2/28/12]
