• Customers Switch Banks — Take money to a different bank and leverage customers immense purchasing power to show Wells Fargo executives and directors the grave repercussions of Well’s predatory practices.    
• Torne-se um denunciante - incentive os funcionários atuais e ex-funcionários da Wells Fargo a se tornarem parte da campanha. Como funcionário anterior ou atual, você está em uma posição única para efetuar uma mudança real, compartilhando informações críticas para apoiar e aderir à campanha Wells Fargo Justice.

NACA’s Wells Fargo Justice Campaign began on April 25th when NACA’s CEO Bruce Marks and others confronted Wells Fargo’s CEO Tim Sloan during the Wells Fargo’s annual meeting in Jacksonville, Florida.  Bruce Marks demanded answers in order to hold the CEO and their board of directors accountable but was forcibly removed.  To hear the confrontation at Well’s annual meeting Clique aqui.

Marks said, “NACA, our Members and many others are in a powerful position to hold Wells Fargo’s executives and board of directors personally accountable for the bank’s predatory practices. Hundreds of thousands of NACA members have collectively over $17 Billion in balances with Wells Fargo in bank accounts, car loans, student loans, personal loans and mortgages.” Marks continues, “Wells Fargo acknowledged they have been exploiting their customers and even their own employees for over 15 years, yet their apology and cosmetic changes are not enough“

The government has taken an important step in downgrading Wells Fargo’s CRA rating to “Needs Improvement” which is the worst of any major bank, but more needs to be done.
