Prodigy, owned by Sears, offered a secure network that Wells Fargo and other banks and businesses allowed to access their own company computer systems. Customers using the Prodigy service were able to access their bank accounts from the comfort of home for the first time. They could also transfer money, read news, play games, and even order groceries online using the community bulletin feature. Customers had to buy a software package and pay a monthly fee for their software's subscription in addition to any fees charged by their bank. Customers had to use floppy disks and dial up modems to connect to their information.
Wells Fargo started offering online account access through Prodigy in 1989, and by the mid-1990s it found that only about 10,000 of its 3.5 million customers used the service.

There could be many reasons why you want to close your bank account. It's not uncommon for traditional banks to offer free checking accounts only for you to be slammed with hidden fees later on. Or for banks to promise high yields on investments and savings accounts, but then you realize the high fees that come with the high yield don't really make it worth it. On the other hand, some banks just make it outright difficult for immigrants. Now you've found a better banking solution and want to get rid of the hassle.

Wells Fargo Bank agreed to pay a total of approximately $72.6 million to resolve allegations it fraudulently overcharged hundreds of commercial customers who used the bank's foreign exchange services. Wells Fargo FX sales specialists used a variety of misrepresentations and deceptive practices to defraud customers.
For example, instead of applying agreed-upon fixed spreads to customers' outgoing wires, FX sales specialists would charge inflated spreads that were as large as the FX sales specialists thought they could get away with. This practice was referred to internally as "Range of Day" Pricing. Wells Fargo profited from these transactions by marking up the prices on currency it was selling to and marking down the prices on currency it was buying from its customers. These agreements, referred to internally as "fixed-pricing agreements," were both written and oral in nature. Besides the troubles stemming from the fraudulent accounts scandal, in December 2018, Wells Fargo also agreed to pay a $575 million settlement with the attorneys general of all 50 states and Washington, D.C. For tricky practices with their auto loan and mortgage products.
At the trial the only witnesses, all called by respondents, were Alta, Vincent and the trust officer of appellant. Most of the evidence was directed towards showing the present financial condition of the Wogmans and the amount of income of the trust, respondents challenging the investment policies of the trustee.

Over the past four or five years they have averaged about $3,500 annually, including the income from the trust, which now runs to about $60 per month.

"We all put trust in our banking institutions to deal with us honestly, fairly and transparently when we are their customers. For the better part of a decade, Wells Fargo abused this trust, using tricks, false information and other deceptive practices to fraudulently overcharge customers who used the Bank's foreign exchange service," U.S. In a few cases, FX sales specialists provided customers false transaction data. In one instance, an FX sales specialist represented to Customer E that it would charge a spread of 5 basis points on certain BSwift wire transactions.
Contrary to this agreement, the Bank actually charged higher spreads on a series of FX transactions. Then, in email correspondence with representatives of Customer E, the FX sales specialist provided inaccurate market rate information to the customer to make the FX spread falsely appear consistent with the agreement terms. FX sales specialists internally discussed and even celebrated transactions resulting in larger FX spreads than agreed to with customers or transactions generating large FX revenue. For example, FX sales specialists on Wells Fargo's San Francisco FX desk would celebrate transactions with large spreads or sales margins by ringing a bell located on the trading floor.
