COMPANY HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
"Since 1852, Wells Fargo & Company has played an extraordinary role in the financial history and development of America. Honest, dependable, hardworking Wells Fargo team members were at the heart of community-building initiatives across the American West. Their values, individual efforts and team spirit firmly established the company's legendary reputation for service to customers. They built communications, transportation and financial networks that allowed money -- especially gold, financial payments and investments -- to flow across America and around the world.
