Wells Fargo Shutting Down Branches Across the Country – Is Louisiana Affected?
One of the largest banks in the country has been facing a ton of scrutiny in recent years, and that combined with other economic factors is forcing them to shut down dozens of branches across the country.
Wells Fargo is one of the most recognizable names in the financial world, but claims of consumer abuse totaling about $3.7 billion - related to car loans, mortgages, and checking and savings accounts - have put the firm in a major negative light.

There is even more news on their problems coming out as recently as today.
If you look at the Wells Fargo website, there do not appear to be any branches in the state of Louisiana, though some Wells Fargo services are available to residents of the Bayou State.
More on the closures from MSN News.
In 2023, Wells Fargo shut over three hundred bank branches, more than double the number closed by Chase and Bank of America.
When a bank decides to close a branch, it is required to inform the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) at least 90 days prior to the scheduled closure. We have identified the total number of branches that could be impacted, based on the closures reported by the end of 2022 and those filed through early September of this year.
Another eighteen closures have been reported to the OCC since October 2022, but the bank has yet to announce when those branches will shut their doors to the public.
Those closures can have a major impact on customers, making it harder for them to access their money quickly. While debit cards and online services are available, many people still like to use walk-in and drive-through services at their local banks, and shutting down branches can impact how people do business.
