Wells Fargo Will Repurchase $1.3 Billion Soured Securities

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

Today the North American Securities Administrators Association says Wells Fargo has agreed to buy back about $1.3 billion in auction-rate securities from clients.

 

Wells Fargo has joined other financial companies who have agreed to repurchase more than $61 billion in the securities collectively, which lost most of their value when the market for them evaporated early in 2008 as the credit crisis worsened.

 

The San Francisco-based Wells Fargo has agreed to buy back, at face value, securities its customers purchase before February 13, 2008.
