Wells Fargo Company Information 

Henry Wells and William G. Fargo founded Wells, Fargo & Co. in 1852 as a stagecoach delivery company. As a courier service, it was often enlisted to help hold and transport money. There are several banks that later became part of Wells Fargo, such as the Bank of North America, Atlanta National Bank, and the First National Bank of Palm Beach.   

It is now the fourth largest bank in America when ranked by assets, and it is headquartered in San Francisco, California. 

Wells Fargo has approximately 7,200 branches and 13,000 ATMs. It has locations in 36 states and the District of Columbia and offices in 31 countries and territories to support global businesses. 

In 2016, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) fined Wells Fargo after it was discovered that Wells Fargo employees opened fake accounts and credit cards in customer’s names without their knowledge as a result of high pressure on employees to meet sales goals.  

After the news broke, Wells Fargo also faced civil and criminal lawsuits. The settlements reached approximately $3 billion.  

States Available  

Wells Fargo has branches and ATMs in 36 states and the District of Columbia. It does not have any locations in the following states:   

  • Indiana 
  • Kentucky 
  • Louisiana 
  • Maine 
  • Massachusetts 
  • Michigan 
  • Missouri 
  • New Hampshire 
  • Ohio 
  • Oklahoma 
  • Rhode Island 
  • Vermont 
  • West Virginia 

While Wells Fargo does not have any branches or ATMs in other countries, Wells Fargo customers may use ATMs outside of the United States with the Plus® logo to check balances and withdraw cash.
