Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo is proud to sponsor the Asian Heritage Street Celebration. Our relationship with the Asian community dates back more than 150 years ago when Wells Fargo served Asian merchants as customers. Wells Fargo was one of the first California companies to service Chinese customers in their native languages, and published a directory of Chinese-owned businesses in San Francisco in 1871.

Today, Wells Fargo continues to be focused on serving the Asian community in the language of their choice. In Asian communities, Wells Fargo stores are designed to ensure Asian customers feel at home - from the art, in-language signs and bilingual staff to help our customers' needs. Callers to Wells Fargo's customer service phone line can speak with Phone Bankers in Mandarin and Cantonese (1-800-288-2288).

Wells Fargo actively supports the Asian community because its team members believe the company will only be as successful as the communities it serves. Well Fargo's commitment is to support organizations that make significant contributions to the quality of life in our communities and to the lives of people who live there. Last year, the San Francisco Business Times named Wells Fargo the Bay Area's top corporate giver for the fourth consecutive year. The company donated more than $12 million dollars to Bay Area non-profit organizations in 2004, and many of those non-profits serve the Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Hmong, Korean, Vietnamese and Asian-Indian community.

Wells Fargo's commitment to the Asian community goes beyond making donations. Throughout the Bay Area, you can see Wells Fargo team members roll up their sleeves on community fund raising campaigns, non-profit boards and community events. Wells Fargo team members continue to volunteer their spare time to help strengthen our community and want you to become more financially successful.
