Ray Stasieczko didn’t start with speculation. He opened with a simple thesis: something’s going on with GreatAmerica, and it isn’t just routine repositioning whisper through regulatory filings, leadership exits, and carefully trimmed portfolios. For those watching closely, the whispers around GreatAmerica Financial Services have become deafening. A recent video commentary by industry voice Ray Stasieczko, host of The End of the Day with Ray, makes a bold claim: Wells Fargo is poised to acquire GreatAmerica.
At first glance, this might sound like barroom speculation or vendor gossip. But when you connect the dots-economic conditions, regulatory green lights, executive turnover, and strategic cleanup-the picture that emerges isn’t rumor.
Let’s walk through the key signals, the logic behind the move, and why Wells Fargo may soon hang its banner over one of the most respected independent finance firms in the country.
This article was inspired by the timely and insightful work of Louella Fernandes and the team at Quocirca. Their 2025 "State of the Industry" report is not only essential reading for anyone in the print sector, it is a strategic call to action for those of us still clinging to legacy sales models. Louella’s research confronts the uncomfortable truths head-on, mapping out the very fault lines shaking our industry. Her clear-eyed analysis and bold projections served as the foundation for everything you're about to read.
If you're in copier sales, office tech, or MPS, I strongly recommend digging into Quocirca's full study. They aren’t just chronicling the changes. They're lighting the path forward.

According to Louella Fernandes and Quocirca's 2025 "State of the Industry" study, we are staring down the barrel of a 2030 where just 9% of customers say print manufacturers will own the customer relationship.
