NEW YORK, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The Office of the

Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on Thursday said Wells Fargo

Bank NA cannot expand into certain high risk areas without

receiving permission after the regulator identified deficiencies

in its financial crimes risk management.

The agreement between the OCC identified deficiencies

relating to the bank's financial crimes risk management

practices and anti-money laundering controls , including when it

came to reporting suspicious activity as well as customer due

diligence, OCC said in a statement and order.
