Wells Fargo, Merrill Lynch Pay $4.4M Fine for Commission Issues. Wells Fargo and Merrill Lynch agreed to pay $4.4 million to settle state regulator allegations regarding overcharged commissions on small-dollar trades. This regulatory action follows recent Q3 results that analysts suggest reset the company's narrative, with the stock currently trading near its 52-week low. The settlement is a modest financial event compared to the bank's overall scale and recent earnings performance.
