Federal Reserve Will Lift Asset Cap On Wells Fargo For Small Business Stimulus Loans

to temporarily exceed the asset cap that it had imposed on the bank in 2018 in order to allow it to participate in the emergency small business stimulus loan program.

“Due to the extraordinary disruptions from the coronavirus, the Federal Reserve Board on Wednesday announced that it will temporarily and narrowly modify the growth restriction on Wells Fargo so that it can provide additional support to small businesses,” the Fed said in a statement. Wells Fargo will only be allowed to exceed the cap to make loans as part of the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act and as part of the Fed’s forthcoming Main Street Lending Program.

Or just ban them from participating. These loans will result in massive revenue being generated for the banks. They will see sharp upticks in quarterly profits and related dividends and bonuses. Why not bar a cheating bank from benefitting?

Thanks to all the lobbying so they are back where they were earlier! Its the right time, we need to change the system.
