Wells Fargo ringing a bell for subprime auto lending?

  • One of this country's largest participants in the bubbly subprime auto lending market, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), reports the NYT, for the first time is imposing a cap on the amount of subprime loans it will offer - no more than 10% of overall auto loan originations, which last year was about $30B.
  • The move could have big effect as Wells Fargo - having sidestepped the worst of the mortgage mess - has earned a reputation for knowing something about managing risk.
  • The cap is already being felt across the auto market, and dealers are noting the bank increasingly rejecting loans which previously might have been accepted.
  • Capital One (NYSE:COF), Santander Consumer (NYSE:SC), Ally Financial (NYSE:ALLY) ... ball's in your court now.
  • Previously: Ally mulling return to mortgages, credit cards (Feb. 20)
