Wells Fargo is shutting down all of its existing personal lines of credit, sparking outrage from consumers and advocates.
A spokesperson for the bank said Wells Fargo (CBEAX) made the decision last year as part of an effort to simplify its product offerings. The bank feels it can better meet borrowing needs through credit cards and personal loans, the spokesperson said. The popular consumer lending product that the bank is shuttering typically lets users borrow up to $100,000, according to CNBC, which reported the news earlier Thursday. The product was advertised to consumers as a way to consolidate higher-interest credit card debt or pay for home renovations.More Related News
