The Federal Reserve on Tuesday lifted a longstanding asset cap on Wells Fargo, ending one of the most severe restrictions ever imposed on a U.S. bank.

The 2018 enforcement action barred the bank from increasing its total assets above its year-end 2017 level—roughly $1.9 trillion—until it addressed widespread risk management and compliance failures.
