Wells Fargo Plans Workforce Reduction, Focuses on Efficiency
Update: 2025-11-05
Description
Wells Fargos CEO, Charlie Scharf, announced a further workforce reduction, aiming for efficiency. The bank expects this to happen through natural attrition and AI integration. Despite the U.S. Federal Reserve lifting a significant asset cap, Wells Fargo remains focused on internal efficiency. The bank is not pressured to make immediate acquisitions, but may consider buying another lender in appealing geographic areas or adding capacity in payments and wealth management. The banks stock jumped in October due to exceeding profit expectations, positioning it for growth in checking accounts, deposits, and lending products.
