What it stands on, and what could break it
What the business leans on
- 1The company relies on deposits to fund banking activities and on interest rates set in financial markets to shape what it earns on loans and investments and pays depositors.
- 2Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. is its principal subsidiary and held most of the company's assets at December 31, 2025.
- 3Its businesses are subject to banking and consumer-protection rules and ongoing supervision by U.S. regulators.
- 4Wealth-management fees depend partly on the value of clients' investments, while trading and investment-banking activity depends partly on financial-market activity.
What could go wrong
- 1The Federal Reserve's 2018 consent order still has provisions in place requiring further improvements in governance, compliance, and operational risk management, even though the growth limit was removed in 2025.
- 2Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. remains subject to an Office of the Comptroller of the Currency formal agreement requiring improvements to anti-money-laundering and sanctions controls.
- 3Changes in interest rates can affect the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits; management said growth in interest-bearing deposits and markets financing contributed to net interest margin compression in Q2 2026.
