Wells Unloads Subprime Loans$600 million sale of non-performing loans

A big portfolio of subprime mortgages has been sold by Wells Fargo & Co.

The San Francisco-based institution sold a $600 million portfolio of subprime loans, a spokeswoman confirmed to MortgageDaily.com.

While the size of the portfolio sale is huge, it’s still a drop in the bucket given that Wells originated more than $50 billion in home-equity and subprime loans annually during its heyday.

The loans in the portfolio sale were non-performing — suggesting a hefty discount might have been involved.

The Wells spokeswoman declined to comment on the buyer or any other details about the sale.
