A diversified financial services company, Wells Fargo and Co.<\/strong> is the world\u2019s\u00a0second-largest<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0bank by \u2018market capitalization<\/span><\/em>\u2019 and is\u00a0 the third-largest<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>by \u2018total assets<\/span><\/em>\u2018 in the\u00a0 United States. Working true to their principles of availing the customers with best financial services by building a trust relationship, the company provides guidance and a full range of financial needs. The 160 years old company, is rich in details with America\u2019s history, evolving at each phase to serve the needs of the West. Through prosperity, depression and war crisis to the Gold Rush and early 20th\u00a0 century, the company earned a reputation of great trust and loyalty from its service seekers.<\/p>\n

The two founders of \u2018<\/strong>American Express<\/strong>,\u2019<\/i><\/span>\u00a0 Henry Wells<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 and\u00a0William Fargo<\/em><\/span>, co-founded Wells Fargo, in 1852, offering\u00a0 banking services<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0including buying gold and selling paper bank drafts as good as gold and\u00a0express services<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0like rapid delivery of gold and anything else of similar value.<\/p>\n

The company gained a reputation in the 1850s, as the economy went through a boon and burst and everlasting fame in the 1860s, receiving its corporate symbol. The use of stagecoach, steamship, railroad, pony-rides or telegraph were used to render the fastest business possible. It also adopted the motto of \u2018ocean-to-ocean<\/span><\/em>\u2019 to reflect the vast connected 2,500\u00a0 communities in 25 states and \u2018over-the-seas<\/span><\/em>\u2018 linking of America\u2019s global economy.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Wells Fargo & Co.\u2019s Bank,\u2019<\/span> formally split from \u2018Wells Fargo and Co. Express\u2019<\/span>\u00a0 in 1905, which thrusted the bank\u2019s pace of development and helped in rebuilding its banking business across the West. But the bank weathered through the Great Depression with the aid of sound management, serving the nation through World War II, and meet with the customers needs in the post-war era.<\/p>\n

Expanding to as a\u00a0\u2018banker\u2019s bank<\/strong><\/span>\u2019<\/strong> in 1923, Wells Fargo spread to the entire West. The 1960s saw the bank prosper to a Northern California regional bank and had stores everywhere people lived and played. The 1980s witnessed the bank turn into a state-wide bank and further becoming the\u00a0 seventh largest<\/span>\u00a0 bank in the nation. By the 1990s, the bank had returned to its historical stance on the territory through Western, Midwestern and Eastern states.<\/p>\n

The Wells Fargo of the 21st\u00a0 century headquartered at San Francisco<\/strong>, is a product of more than 1,500 mergers over a time period of 160 years. The acquiring of the company\u00a0 by \u2018Norwest Corporation<\/span>\u2019<\/strong> in 1998, accepting the former\u2019s name, reconnected their heritage-in-common of William G. Fargo, founder of both the institutions. Norwest, was ranked highly for its customer satisfaction and was admired largely. Whereas the 2008 merger with\u00a0 Wachovia<\/span>, fostered the company in accepting and transforming new banking concepts of drive-up tellers, banking by phone, express lines, credit cards, automated teller machines and online banking. This extended once again the company\u2019s motto of \u2018ocean-to-ocean\u2019 and \u2018over-the-Seas.\u2019 The\u00a0 mobile banking<\/span>\u00a0services offered by the company, was the fastest growing \u2018on the go\u2019 banking tool- growing twice as fast as\u00a0 online banking.<\/span><\/p>\n

The business in the contemporary times, delineates into three different segments: Community banking, Wholesale banking and Wealth, brokerage and Retirement.<\/p>\n

The company in addition operates\u00a012 museums<\/strong><\/span>, most known as \u2018Wells Fargo History Museum<\/span>\u2019 in its corporate buildings. The displays include original stagecoaches, photographs, gold nuggets and mining artefacts, the pony express, telegraph equipment and historic bank artefacts. It also operates the\u00a0Alaska Heritage Museum<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0which displays about Wells Fargo history in the Alaskan Gold Rush era.<\/p>\n
