WASHINGTON, Sept 10 — US bank Wells Fargo on Thursday was hit with a new fine — US$250 million for failing to meet requirements in an agreement to pay previously harmed customers.

“Wells Fargo has not met the requirements of the OCC’s 2018 action against the bank. This is unacceptable,” said Acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu. In 2018, the OCC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau fined the California bank US$1 billion and ordered it to reimburse the harmed customers the amounts improperly taken, and to strengthen the bank’s risk management program.

“The OCC will continue to use all the tools at our disposal, including business restrictions, to ensure that national banks address problems in a timely manner, treat customers fairly, and operate in a safe and sound manner,” he added.
