Wells Fargo Bank is a publicly traded bank that operates as a subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company, one of the largest financial holding companies in the world. The bank is one of the largest in the United States as measured by assets as well as deposits. With tens of millions of customers, thousands of retail branches and tens of thousands of ATMs, the bank’s presence is recognized in every state. It offers personal, small business, and commercial banking products and services, in addition to wealth management and investing advising.

On its personal banking side, Wells Fargo offers checking, savings, Money Market, Certificate of Deposit (CD) and IRA accounts, in addition to mortgage and consumer loans. One of its most popular checking account options comes with a debit card, as well as a monthly service fee unless minimum balance requirements are met. The bank pushes its student checking account in a combo package with its savings account to encourage saving, and Wells Fargo partners with colleges to provide students the ability to use its debit card for both on and off campus transactions. Savings account options come with minimal interest rates on basic savings, retirement savings, and even retirement savings accounts. Money Market accounts offered by the bank have a minimum daily balance requirement and come with very low interest rates. CDs are available in term lengths ranging from 3 to 58 months and a step up CD provides a way to increase the rate on a 24-month CD every 6 months for the life of the product.

A private bank is also available to provide customers wealth planning and trust solutions that are tailored to specific investor needs and goals. On its small business side, Wells Fargo offers loans and credit, business insurance, and merchant services like payment processing and tax help.

Wells Fargo Bank online banking is a secure banking platform on which customers can open and manage their accounts. The web-based system provides the ability to complete tasks like Bill Pay, money transfers, online brokerage, account activity viewing, direct deposit, and check image viewing. A mobile website (wf.com) provides an optimized Internet solution for customers to access their accounts from a web browser on any capable device. Mobile banking apps are also available and provide a more sophisticated way to bank on the run from various smartphone and tablet devices.

Wells Fargo Bank was originally established as the Crocker-Citizens National Bank in 1870, before transitioning to its current name in 1986. Since that time, the bank has rapidly acquired many financial institutions and divisions to become one of the largest companies in the world. Wells Fargo corporate headquarters are located in San Francisco, California, while Wells Fargo Bank is headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The bank operates through thousands of branches located through the United States.

Happy Customer

Posted by: GurlyChikkEdgy | Sep 30, 2017

I have had nothing but a great experience with Wells Fargo. I have had a checking account and a savings account since I got my first job when I was 15. Eight years later, they are still the only bank I use and will continue to use for the foreseeable future. Their benefits are great and they have given me many tips throughout the years on how to manage and save my money, as well as help pay off other accounts to the best of my ability. Any time I have ever had an issue, their customer service was very knowledgeable and able to quickly assist me. The best example was when my credit card had suspicious activity on it; they quickly froze the card and sent me a brand new one in a couple of days. My entire family uses Wells Fargo for their banking needs and I would recommend them for anyone looking to open a banking account.

Great Banking

Posted by: HippoInfamous | Sep 26, 2017

I like Wells Fargo. I think its a great institution that takes care of its costumers. I opened a savings account a couple of months ago because I was quite unpleasant with my other bank. I was happy that I made this choice because so far the service has been great and I feel appreciated as a customer. I think that its important for a bank to leave its customers in a positive note and this is what Wells Fargo does for me. I like the movie experience and also that the process to make transactions is quite easy. Overall I would say that my experience is a 4 out of 5 star one. I think this institution can improve in some ways but so far I'm glad and think that I will remain loyal to this bank for a long time. I think this banking institution is doing things right and that is what matters the most at the end of the day.

Not so Wells Fargo

Posted by: feleciakline2 | Sep 26, 2017

I absolutely did not like my experience with Wells Fargo. This was the first bank I opened an account with when I became of age. I thought I was in love at the time and opened a shared account with my partner. I was supposed to have total control of the accounts, including hers. Well, things went bad between us and she had went and taken all the money out of my account and spent it. I went into the bank and told them I wanted her off and asked them how she had gotten into my account. They couldn't give me one answer. Apparently she manipulated someone there to give her access to one of my accounts with them. I got the paper to sign to get her off of my account and she refused to sign it for a while. I called and told them to take her off or I would contact their manager about the person that let her gain access to my account and they finally took her off because I was not very happy.

Wellsfargo on th go!

Posted by: lorigriffith | Jul 12, 2017

I can say that my experience with the online features of this bank was very smooth and hassle free. This is where my company deposits their pay to me, my businesses too and other form of transactions so it's a hassle for me if I have to go to the bank physically and update my account for any deposits made. All I have to do is log on to their website and have my account summary just like that, it's very convenient and easy to use. I also have tried contacting there customer service for some questions regarding my account and they replied quickly on that same day, it took them at least 4 hours to respond to me but that's okay, that's a lot better than physically going to there banks.
