Summary List Placement Wells Fargo requires all of its employees to fill out a five-step COVID-19 questionnaire before they return to the office, a spokesperson told Insider. Staff must complete this form, which Wells Fargo sent to Insider, every day before they enter one of the bank’s offices, they said. The questions ask about COVID-19 tests and symptoms — if any answers suggest a person might have the virus, they can’t enter their workplace. The questions, detailed below, are based on coronavirus health guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Wells Fargo’s policy is similar to those at other banks: JPMorgan told Insider in February it required its staff to take a daily-health check on a mobile or laptop before entering its workplaces. Meanwhile, sources told Insider that Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, and Credit Suisse are testing employees that work from the office on a weekly basis.

Summary List Placement Shares of JPMorgan and other banks fell Friday after the Federal Reserve decided to end a rule that relaxed capital requirements to encourage banks to loan money during the COVID-19 crisis. The central bank said its rule change in the supplementary leverage ratio, or SLR, will expire as scheduled on March 31. Under the SLR, banks with more than $250 billion in assets have to protect against losses by holding capital equal to 3% of their total assets. But the Fed relaxed the rule in May 2020, allowing banks to reduce the amount of capital they were required to hold in Treasuries and other assets. With the Fed’s decision to let the rule change expire, shares of JPMorgan Chase lost 3.3%, Bank of America declined 2.6% as did those of Wells Fargo , and Citigroup gave up 1.7%. Among exchange-traded funds, the Invesco KBW Bank ETF fell 2.3% and the SPDR S&P Bank ETF pulled back by 1.8%. The closely watched 10-year Treasury yield rose to 1.733% after the Fed’s statement as bonds sold off.
