Tim Sloan

The bank's general counsel is temporarily in charge of an external search for a new CEO.

Tim Sloan couldn't hang on any longer. Here are insights about why he left now, what role policymakers played in the decision and will continue to have in the company's future, and who in the world would want to lead Wells Fargo.

Tim Sloan stepped down effective immediately amid mounting pressure over the lender's scandals.

The embattled executive says the nation’s fourth-largest bank “will benefit from a new CEO and fresh perspectives."

The bank said Tim Sloan has the full support of its board following a report that directors had reached out to Goldman Sachs’ former CFO.

While Tim Sloan’s total compensation was the smallest among CEOs of the six biggest U.S. banks, his salary was the largest.

In a tense back and forth with lawmakers, the embattled CEO pushed back on claims that the bank still pressures employees to hit sales targets and retaliates against those who speak up.

The company said it might have to spend as much as $2.7 billion to resolve a variety of investigations and other legal troubles.

The bank's top critic makes it sound so easy.

The bank pledges to handle customer complaints better and reexamine its lending practices.
