Wells Fargo Says It Worked for Mortgage-Market Share

Wells Fargo & Co., the largest U.S. home lender, said competition in the mortgage market is “essential” and that its control of 1 in 3 U.S. mortgages is the result of doing a better job than rivals.
Growth in market share isn’t “magic” and is driven by clients choosing the bank over competitors because it has served them well, San Francisco-based Wells Fargo said in a memo sent last week to mortgage employees. The bank said it issued the two-page, unsigned document amid “discussion about Wells Fargo’s prominence” in the market. The document was confirmed by Tom Goyda, a bank spokesman.
