A top U.S. banking regulator terminated a 2021 consent order against Wells Fargo for deficiencies in its home lending loss mitigation practices, the Wall Street giant said on Monday, bringing it closer to ending near-decade-old regulatory woes.

Wells Fargo & Co. said the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency freed the bank from a 2021 consent order tied to deficiencies in its process for helping customers avoid foreclosure, resolving another in a series of missteps that date from the previous decade.

Regulators have terminated 11 consent orders against Wells since 2019, including five so far this year. The bank's asset cap, however, remains.
