On October 13, 2026, Wells Fargo & Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K under Items 2.02 and 7.01 announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. The bank furnished its earnings news release (Exhibit 99.1), the 3Q26 Quarterly Supplement (Exhibit 99.2), and investor presentation materials (Exhibit 99.3) accompanying its quarterly conference call. Notably, Wells Fargo elected to treat Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 as formally 'filed' under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 rather than merely furnished, subjecting the quarterly disclosures to heightened liability standards.
While the core 8-K text is an administrative vehicle for the quarterly release without inline figures, it formally incorporates Q3 2026 financial results under Section 18 liability, serving as the official benchmark for Wells Fargo's quarterly performance.

US banks block AI agents from moving money
Major US banks and brokers are blocking AI agents that attempt to move money on behalf of customers, citing security, liability, and controllability concerns. Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster stated the firm blocks unauthorized agents weekly. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned against 'rogue agents,' while Citigroup and Bank of America restrict AI-agent-initiated transactions. Banks have contacted the Federal Reserve.

Analysts suggest banks also fear AI agents shifting funds to higher-yield accounts, costing billions in lost deposits. Meanwhile, banks are developing read-only MCP interfaces and their own AI assistants. Congress is debating liability for AI agent errors.
