Join the leader!....Wells Fargo is San Francisco City and County’s largest private employer, with 8,500 team members; and employs 17,000 in nine Bay Area counties. Wells Fargo has been named the Bay Area’s #1 Corporate Giver among financial services companies for six consecutive years by the San Francisco Business Times.

HISTORY: Founded in San Francisco in 1852, Wells Fargo is the oldest and largest financial services company headquartered in California. Wells Fargo’s building was destroyed in the earthquake and fire, but cashier Frederick Lipman telegraphed: “Building Destroyed, Vault Intact, our position unimpaired” and bank president I.W. Hellman vowed to help rebuild the city bigger and better than ever. Today San Francisco houses the Wells Fargo History Museum which contains historical exhibits including the California gold rush and an authentic stagecoach.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. is rated by the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) as “Outstanding,” the highest possible rating, in its performance under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Wells Fargo’s financial education program, Hands on Banking^®/El futuro en tus manos^®, provides children, teens and adults with free, comprehensive money-management skills. San Francisco team members teach the curriculum to individuals and small businesses in partnership with non-profits and schools and they also participate in workshops held by local chapters of Junior Achievement.

DIVERSITY: Hundreds of team members participate in company-sponsored Team Member Resource Groups (TMRGs) in the Bay Area, including groups for African Americans; Asian and Pacific Islanders; Arab Americans; Asian Indians; Native Americans; Latinos; the disabled; and team members who identify as being Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender. TMRGs are internal affinity groups that promote awareness of cultural groups and focus on career development, networking, mentoring and community outreach activities.
