New Wells Fargo boss puts stamp on bank with overhaul of reporting lines

Move marks Charles Scharf's first major structural change since the bank’s fake-account scandal

Wells Fargo is overhauling its reporting lines in chief executive Charles Scharf’s first move to stamp out the corporate structure implicated in its fake-account scandal.

The bank said on Tuesday that it plans to split its three business units into five. What had been known as the wholesale bank will be split into a commercial bank that provides back-end services for companies, as well as a separate investment bank that focuses on capital markets.
