Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo is one of the largest banks in the United States, and its Boston listing connects local customers to the bank’s full range of services. Consumers can open checking and savings accounts, apply for credit cards, borrow through personal loans and mortgages, and access investing services. Mortgage options include programs with down payments as low as 3 percent, and the bank’s credit cards include options with intro rates, cash back and rewards.

Wells Fargo was founded by Henry Wells and William Fargo in 1852, and its stagecoach image recalls those Gold Rush-era beginnings. Today much of its banking happens through the Wells Fargo Mobile app, which offers insights such as a summary of spending by category, retailer and account. The bank also publishes financial guidance and security updates and says it is committed to serving the communities where its customers live and work.
