Wells Fargo Reached Out to Gary Cohn About CEO Role: Report

What's next for Wells Fargo's CEO slot? "I don't know if they have an active search, I know that they're looking," a Wall Street CEO told the Post.

"Their board isn't 100% happy, because he didn't stop the bleeding," another bank executive said of Sloan. "He still has their support, but they're not in love with him."

The bank disputes the report. "The assertions in this story are inaccurate; Tim Sloan has the full support of the Wells Fargo board of directors," Arati Randolph, a bank spokeswoman, told the Post.

Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that the bank is facing a Justice Department investigation into whether employees in its wholesale-banking unit improperly altered customer data.

As of June 30, Wells Fargo Advisors included 14,226 advisors. That's down about 300 from a year ago and 173 from the prior quarter, though the firm says retirement is behind 80% of departures over the past 12 months.

Also in the second quarter of 2018, the bank accrued a $114 million expense to refund wealth-unit customers who had been overcharged over the last seven years, along with $171 million for foreign-exchange clients.
