After six-plus years under an asset cap imposed by the Federal Reserve, Wells Fargo (WFC) is now free to expand its balance sheet, signaling a significant milestone in the bank’s recovery from past scandals.

Federal regulators moved to lift their punishment against Wells Fargo, which prevented its growth following the bank’s fake accounts scandal in 2018. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors voted Monday to remove an unprecedented restriction that had capped the bank’s assets at approximately $1.

Wells Fargo was released from a punitive, seven-year-long $1.95 trillion cap on its assets on Tuesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve lifted the regulatory measure, allowing the bank to pursue unimpeded growth.
