Banks across the country have been reducing their footprint by closing thousands of physical branches over the last few years, and Wells Fargo is no exception. Since October 2023, the banking giant has closed over 60 locations — 13 of them in January alone.
Is it time for you to get a new bank account? Let’s explore which locations Wells Fargo has chosen to shutter in the last few months.

Alabama
4394 Main Street, Pinson
401 19th Street North, Birmingham
These closures weren’t surprising as Wells Fargo already has many locations in and around Birmingham. (Pinson is on the outskirts of Birmingham.) Customers have several other Wells Fargo branches to choose from.
Arizona
2745 West Carefree Highway, Phoenix
This location was on the northern outskirts of Phoenix, which has many more Wells Fargo branches in more populated areas.
California
1305 W. Sepulveda Boulevard, Torrance
270 Redwood Shores Parkway, Redwood City
303 2nd Street, San Francisco
1071 El Camino Real, Redwood City
42420 Washington Avenue, Bermuda Dunes
450 South Ventura Road, Oxnard
3360 San Pablo Dam Road, San Pablo
18010 Chatsworth Street, Granada Hills
118 E. Carrillo Street, Santa Barbara
116 Sunset Drive, San Ramon
103 East Stetson Avenue, Hemet
The Golden State got hit hard with Wells Fargo closures. These now-shuttered locations span the length and breadth of the state.
Resolve $10,000 or more of your debt

Colorado
34237 Highway 6, Edwards
Colorado got away with just one closure in the small mountain town of Edwards. Luckily, there is a Wells Fargo bank in Avon, a busy ski resort destination nearby.
Washington, D.C.
1301 Pennsylvania Avenue
This location was just a few blocks away from the White House. This closure might be a good move for the bank, as two other Wells Fargo locations are within a mile of 1301 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Florida
4901 Tamiami Trail South, Naples
113 South Tennessee Avenue, Lakeland
10191 Cleary Boulevard, Plantation
3131 West Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Hallandale
555 Washington Avenue, Suite A, Miami Beach
6600 Taft Street, Hollywood
1551 S Belcher Road, Clearwater
3990 NW 16 Street, Lauderhill
2891 South Tamiami Trail, Sarasota
199 North Ocean Boulevard, Pompano Beach
Almost as hard-hit as California, Florida saw 10 branches close in 2023. These closed locations are on both the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts.
Georgia
3298 Highway 5, Douglasville
1440 Highway 138, S.E. At I-20, Conyers
6175 Windward Parkway, Alpharetta
Each of the three Georgia closures was on the outskirts of Atlanta. Hopefully, customers won’t be too inconvenienced, as each closed location has others close by.
Iowa
4505 Douglas Avenue, Des Moines
Des Moines has five other banks and several ATMs within its city limits plus another on Douglas Avenue in Urbandale, so this closure shouldn’t be too devastating.
Idaho
210 East Corporate Drive, Meridian
114 East Appleway, Coeur D'alene
320 A Street, Idaho Falls
It’s evident that Wells Fargo is condensing (rather than eliminating) its footprint with these bank closures. Each of these Idaho cities is still left with at least one bank location after the closures.

Illinois
10 S. Wacker Drive, Chicago
While the bank at this location has closed, it appears there is still an active Wells Fargo ATM at this location.
Maryland
7475 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda
1906 Towne Center Blvd., Suite 285, Annapolis
Both of these closures were in busy locations — the former Bethesda location was between two major thoroughfares and the Annapolis closure was in a large strip mall.
Nebraska
2301 North 48th Street, Lincoln
This branch near the University of Nebraska — Lincoln has closed, but the ATM next door remains operational.
New Jersey
50 East State Street, Trenton
This closure follows the trend of closing branches in the heart of major cities. Trenton, however, still has other branch locations.
New Mexico
970 Bosque Farm Boulevard, Bosque Farms
1275 Country Club Road, Santa Teresa
While Bosque Farms has a nearby branch open in Los Lunas, Santa Teresa residents will have to travel across the Texas border to get to the nearest Wells Fargo branch.
Nevada
4045 South Virginia Street, Reno
1001 So. Rainbow Boulevard, Las Vegas
Both Reno and downtown Las Vegas have numerous Wells Fargo branches, so these closures are to be expected as the company is decreasing redundant locations.
Oregon
110 NE Roberts Avenue, Greshem
15950 82nd Avenue, Clackamas
5615 S Macadam Avenue, Portland
Each of these closures is in the Portland metro area, which is still home to numerous Wells Fargo branches.
Pennsylvania
3501 Paxton Street, Unit Q1, Harrisburg
1886 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown
1840 Airport Road, Allentown
While Allentown and Harrisburg residents may be relatively unaffected by these closures, Flourtown customers must now travel about five miles to the nearest Wells Fargo bank.
Texas
9810 North Lamar, Austin
201 E. Pipeline Road, Hurst
3570 Southwest Military Drive, San Antonio
9810 North Lamar, Austin
1420 West Mockingbird Lane, Dallas
11152 S. Gessner Drive, Houston
All of the Texas closures are in major metropolitan areas — all of which have several other locations to serve Wells Fargo customers.
Virginia
1006 Richmond Road, Williamsburg
200 N. Main Street, Blacksburg
122 East Grace Street, Richmond
2100 Ivy Road, Charlottesville
440 Monticello Avenue, Suite 150, Norfolk
Virginia customers don’t have to worry about these closures too much as each city with a closure has other locations. However, in several instances (like Williamsburg and Blacksburg) the open location is across town from the shuttered branch.
Washington
1527 Highlands Dr., Ne, Issaquah
6615 132nd Avenue Ne, Kirkland
These closures aren’t surprising as Issaquah isn’t big enough to warrant two locations and Kirkland has several others.
Wisconsin
636 Wisconsin Avenue, Sheboygan
Sheboygan customers still have access to Wells Fargo Advisors and the ATM downtown, but now they will have to go to the north end of the city for branch access.
Pro tip: Online banks often offer mobile apps, high-yield savings accounts, and other helpful features that prevent you from missing a physical branch.
Bottom line
Wells Fargo has been on a branch-closing spree since October 2023, but it’s not done yet — 55 more branches are on the chopping block for 2024.
Most of the locations that have closed were redundant and have other branches close by. However, customers may now have to travel farther in person for important money moves.
