The scandal previously caused years of regulatory and management turmoil for the bank. The order required it to overhaul how it offers and sells products and services to consumers.

In addition, it required Wells Fargo to take further steps to protect its customers and employees, the company said in a statement.

“I have repeatedly said that implementing a risk and control framework appropriate for a bank of our size and complexity is our top priority, and closing consent orders is an important sign of our progress,” said Charlie Scharf, Wells Fargo’s CEO, who joined the company in 2019. “This is the sixth consent order that our regulators have terminated since 2019.”

Scharf added that the company’s risk and control work remains a top priority for the firm.
