A settlement between Wells Fargo and attorneys general from all 50 states will mean more than $5 million for Nebraska.
Wells Fargo and the attorneys general announced the settlement Friday following an investigation into fake accounts opened without the knowledge of customers and other questionable practices.
Besides paying $575 million to the states and the District of Columbia, Wells Fargo agreed to respond to customer complaints about its banking and sales practices.
Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson says the state's share of the settlement will be $5.2 million.
The bank has been under a cloud since 2015, when it acknowledged that employees had opened millions of fake bank accounts for customers in order to meet sales goals. It has also said that it sold auto insurance and other financial products to customers who didn't need them.
