Is Your Bank Safe? A Look At Wells Fargo

Over the last few months, we have written several articles outlining our views of banks in general. We explained the relationship that you, as a depositor, have with your bank is in line with a debtor/creditor relationship. This places you in a precarious position should the bank encounter financial or liquidity issues. Moreover, we also outlined why reliance on the FDIC may not be wholly advisable. And, finally, we explained that the next time there’s a financial meltdown, your deposits may be turned into equity to assist the bank in reorganizing.
