Wells Fargo converts Colorado Wachovia branches to new name
Submitted by AlanMWolf on 11/10/2009 - 09:23
Former Wachovia Corp. branches in Colorado opened today under the Wells Fargo & Co. banner, the first step in changing over branches nationwide, the Charlotte Observer's Rick Rothacker reports.
The San Francisco-based bank said it successfully switched signs and systems at 19 Wachovia branches in the state. Wells also closed 14 Wachovia branches as it consolidated locations.
Wells Fargo bought Charlotte-based Wachovia on Dec. 31, but it's taking up to three years to convert branches in phases.
The next branches to change will be in Arizona, Nevada and Illinois in the first quarter of 2010. Bank officials have said signs in the Carolinas aren't likely to switch until at least late 2010.
