Wachovia Bank – and at least one of its commercial customers – entered into several agreements. These agreements concern Wachovia Bank’s dealings with companies called payment processors. These payment processors handled financial transactions for telemarketing operations, which operations have been alleged to have been defrauding consumers all over the country.
Various government agencies and private attorneys participated in negotiating the Wachovia Bank agreements.
