WELLS FARGO & COMPANY Business Ethics
Well Fargo is one of the largest banks in the United States. From 2002 to 2016, Wells Fargo employees created 3.5 million unauthorised customer accounts to meet sales targets. These accounts generated improper fees and negatively affected customers' credit scores. The fake accounts, aggressive sales practices, alleged price fixing, and mistreatment of whistleblowers have led to lawsuits against Wells Fargo, raising concerns about the company's business ethics.
