Among all of the indignities Wells Fargo has sustained in the wake of its illegal sales scandal, the bank is now out of good standing with a leading consumer watchdog group.
The San Francisco-based lender is no longer accredited by the Better Business Bureau, making it possibly the biggest business ever to fall into that category.
“Nobody can recall a company of this size, this scope, losing their accreditation,” Thomas Bartholomy, CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Southern Piedmont, told WCNC, the NBC affiliate in Charlotte, North Carolina.
