Wells Fargo, the famous bank with about 150 years of history behinds its name sets the benchmark for other financial institutions with its varying clientele and options in the financial industry. With the Wells Fargo headquarters still based in San Francisco, they are continuing to cling to the ways of the West that won them so many loyal customers in the first place.

They offer loyal and dedicated service, excellent rates and policies, and are hard to be topped when it comes to experience in the various financial sectors that they offer.

 

The bank was started by the collaboration of Henry Wells and William Fargo who wanted to create a quality express postal service across the West during the Gold Rush years. The popularity of this was expanded due to the taking over of the Pony Express and the development of the Overland Mail Express company. Eventually, they settled into banking and in 1905, the first Wells Fargo headquarters was set up in San Francisco.
