Wells Fargo Eliminates Bonuses For Selling Banking Products
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
Wells Fargo Advisors has eliminated bonus compensation for advisors' sale of banking and lending products. The reason for the elimination of this bonus compensation for advisors stems from the most recent scandal involving Wells Fargo Advisors’ parent bank Wells Fargo & Co. Last year, Wells Fargo & Co. was fine $185 million because its bankers opened up checking and credit accounts that customers never knew about or approved.
The elimination of bonus compensation by Wells Fargo Advisors means that advisors cannot rely anymore on making between $2,000 and $100,000 in deferred compensation annually for lending. The bonus amount varied based on how much an advisor grew his or her lending business.
Wells Fargo Advisors currently employs more than 11,000 advisors.
