Jan 14 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo's WFC.N profit rose in the fourth quarter as it earned more from interest payments.
The fourth-largest U.S. lender's net income was $5.36 billion, or $1.62 per share, in the three months ended December 31, it said on Wednesday. That compares with $5.08 billion, or $1.43 per share, a year earlier.
