Jan ‍29 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo awarded CEO Charlie ‍Scharf $40 million in compensation for ​2025, up 28% from $31.2 million ​a year earlier, the bank said in a filing on Thursday.

The lender's ​board cited Scharf's leadership in fixing major compliance ​problems and closing several major regulatory punishments, ‌as well as rising earnings and revenue, as reasons ​for the ⁠CEO's pay bump.

Scharf joins other Wall Street leaders ‌who received bigger payouts for a banner year. Goldman ‌Sachs CEO David Solomon's compensation rose ‌21% to $47 million for ​2025, while JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was ‍awarded an increase of just over 10% ⁠to $43 million.
