Here are some more links to add to last week’s Media Chatter post.
The San Francisco Chronicle article, in particular, is an interview with Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf, where he answers some of the questions that may be on your mind.

i thought with wachovia you add no fee's for atm withdrawl is that going to change or is there still a fee ?
Good morning Ann Marie? Will the name of the bank change anytime soon
Will the name of the bank change?
@Megan- Right now you can only make deposits at the bank where you have your accounts. We're working on integrating systems and will let you know when we can offer cross depositing.
@Garrett- Great question. Wachovia customers will continue to see the Wachovia brand in their banking stores and communities for the near future. The Wachovia brand name will eventually be replaced, but we're committed to maintaining its brand values.
@Ellen- Happy 2009 to you and great to "see" you! Ann Marie
Thanks for the links and posts Ann Marie! It was great to see this blog get started, and that members from both teams are posting!
I would love to see an ATM finder created just for mobile users with the new co. Great for traveling.

I am a Wells Fargo employee.
The San Francisco article is very interesting.
I believe that Wells Fargo's is a well run company and, with the addition of Wachovia, Wells Fargo faces many risks and challenges. I think the opportunities outweigh the risks and the challenges can be overcome with the experience, knowledge and perseverance of those from both companies that truly care about what they do for the organization.
Overall, Wells Fargo has weathered the current financial storm fairly well. In my opinion, Wells Fargo's senior management was conservative enough to avoid some financial instruments and investments because they didn't understand them well enough to place confidence in their investment (much like Warren Buffet mostly avoids technology stocks except for the small share purchases he makes to get the annual report without having to order it). Wells Fargo's management, to date, has shown investors that they take their fiduciary duty to protect their customers and shareholders very seriously.
I wonder after reading this article, and with the speed in which the banking industry seems to be changing (i.e. Citicorp, already with a substantial TARP donation and a huge Federal Government insurance policy protecting their bad debt, splitting into 2 organzations and Bank of America taking more TARP money with a huge insurance policy on their bad debt from the Federal Government), if Wells Fargo might revise some of the answers to reflect these changes. Of course, as an employee, knowing that the business model has worked well in the past for Wells Fargo and with the expectation that it will continue to work well into the future.
Hi Mike - Your wish is my command! Actually it is available today on wf.com. wf.com is the Wells Fargo mobile site and now customers can search for both Wells Fargo and Wachovia ATMs nationwide. Enjoy! Aashir from the Wells Fargo Mobile team
What will happen with the Wachovia Possibilities Rewards program?
