Wells Fargo closes account of gun dealer because of his line of work: Wells Fargo reportedly sent a letter to Brandon Wexler, a Florida gun dealer, announcing that it would be closing Wexler's accounts as of Feb 9, 2023 and that this was an irreversible decision. The following day, Wells Fargo sent another letter to Wexler announcing that the bank had "reviewed [Wexler's] relationship with Wells Fargo and [had] determined at [that] time to close [his] account effective 12/23/2022." Wells Fargo cited the reason for the closure of the account as following the bank's guidelines on "excluding lending from certain types of businesses." Wexler suspected that the bank's actions were representative of a company stance against privately owned firearms. "It feels like its a direct attack against gun dealers," Wexler said. “This all just happened recently, and we have been in business for many years. I’ve never ever seen anything like this.”
