Today’s Wells Fargo & Co. is the outcome of a series of mergers. In 1998 the company joined forces with Norwest Corporation, and in 2008 it acquired Wachovia. In 2015-16, Wells Fargo briefly became the world’s largest bank by market capitalisation.

In February 2018, the US Federal Reserve barred Wells Fargo from growing its asset base until the bank addresses its internal problems.

The Wells Fargo share price, which fell to a low of less than $9 during the global financial crisis, rebounded to an all-time high of $65 in January 2018.

This application is perfect.. simple, easy to use, run smoothly and fast and it has an accurate graphics.. be careful to use only one credit card and one bank account to prevent any withdrawal problem.. overnight fees and spread variation will be repaid for you by the next month.. I used many application but this is the best one

User friendly app & interface and good support team. Funds transfer ease & Leverage is an advantage but crypto is highly risky be responsible of your loss limits and risks appetite.
