这项决定在投资者、分析师及银行业高管之间早有预期。总部位于旧金山的富国银行近年来陆续解除了 多个监管命令，而增长限制和美国货币监理署(OCC)的一项十年前的命令，是其最后面临的两项重大监 管压力。 2018年2月，美联储首次对一家银行整体资产规模设限，要求富国银行的资产不得超过2017年底的1.95 万亿美元，直到其公司治理和内部控制机制达到监管标准。此举开创先河，也表明当时监管部门对富国 银行系统性问题的严重性高度警觉。 假账户丑闻源自2016年消费者金融保护局(CFPB)发现富国银行员工在没有客户授权的情况下，自2011 年起擅自开设超过200万个储蓄和信用卡账户。激进的销售目标与交叉销售奖励制度，诱导了员工的违 规行为，引发公众强烈愤怒。2016年9月，富国银行股价应声下跌12%。 当时，CFPB对富国银行处以1亿美元的创纪录罚款，OCC追加3500万美元罚款，洛杉矶市和县也索赔 5000万美元。美联储的资产上限成为终极监管武器，仅适用于"严重违规或长期整改无效"的情形。时任 美联储主席耶伦在任期结束前一天宣布处罚，接任者鲍威尔上任即接手这一烫手山芋。 美国金融业迎来一个历史性时刻。 智通财经APP获悉 ...
