I had a felony charge of carrying a deadly weapon on New Years of 2010 that was dropped to a misdemeanor on condition of pleading no contest. I have an interview with Wells Fargo as a teller and was wondering if this will affect my employment on my background check.
From what I’ve gathered is that they won’t hire anyone with dishonesty or theft crimes. Haven’t came upon a case like mine. I am plenty experience and know I can get in the only thing worrisome is the fingerprint and background check
I am aware that a criminal background will lead to suspicion but like most applications does Wells Fargos say that a criminal history does not remove you from consideration?
Like I said from what I’ve researched I only see FDIC section 19 which states
Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1829) prohibits, without the prior written consent of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), a person convicted of any criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust or money laundering (covered offenses), or who has agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion or similar program in connection with a prosecution for such offense, from becoming or continuing as an institution-affiliated party, owning or controlling, directly or indirectly an insured depository institution (insured institution), or otherwise participating, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of the affairs of the insured institution. In addition, the law forbids an insured institution from permitting such a person to engage in any conduct or to continue any relationship prohibited by section 19. It imposes a ten-year ban against the FDIC’s consent for persons convicted of certain crimes enumerated in Title 18 of the United States Code, absent a motion by the FDIC and court approval.
