------ Customer Message from John Stumpf One team, twice as strong
To our customers:
I’m sure you have heard the news. Wachovia is now part of Wells Fargo & Company. We’re very excited about combining our two companies because together we want to be able to provide you even more convenience, value and service than you’ve ever had before.
Together, Wells Fargo and Wachovia create the nation’s premier coast–to–coast financial services presence – approximately 280,000 team members, 48 million customers, 11,000 stores in 39 states and the District of Columbia, 12,000 ATMs, $1.4 trillion in assets, and $774 billion in deposits. Yes, together we are big. But this is not about big. This is about better. Better for our team members. Better for our customers. Better for our communities. Better for our shareholders.
As we integrate our two companies, it will mostly be business as usual for our customers. Please continue using your Wells Fargo bank accounts, credit cards, ATM/check cards, checks, and your regular banking office as you normally would. There is one benefit you’ll enjoy right away. Wells Fargo and Wachovia customers can now use over 12,000 ATMs with no access fees.
There are many more exciting developments to come that can provide you with even greater value and convenience. We’ll keep you well informed about changes that might affect you. It’s important to us that we continue to work to earn your business and your trust.
Together, we’ll be one team, twice as strong. And we’ll draw from two great legacies to build on our strength, safety, security and service. Thank you for your support and for your business.
Sincerely,
John Stumpf President and CEO |
