What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to publicly disclose Wells Fargo's financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018, and to provide additional context through a press release and a Quarterly Supplement.

What is the difference between 'filed' and 'furnished' information in this report?

Information that is 'filed' is subject to specific liability provisions under securities laws (like Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), meaning it carries more stringent disclosure requirements. 'Furnished' information, on the other hand, is provided to the SEC but does not carry the same level of regulatory scrutiny or liability, though it's still publicly available.

Where can investors find detailed Q2 2018 financial information?

Detailed financial information for Q2 2018 can be found in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the Quarterly Supplement (Exhibit 99.2) attached to this 8-K filing. Investors should pay close attention to the press release and the specific 'Update on customer remediation' section of the supplement for key updates.

What was the significance of the 'customer remediation' section in the Quarterly Supplement?

The 'Update on customer remediation for previously disclosed matters' section was specifically noted as 'filed,' indicating its importance to investors and regulators. This suggests it contained material information regarding the company's efforts to address and resolve issues related to past customer-facing problems.
