With the official start to Hispanic Heritage Month
this week, Wells Fargo and Wachovia team members will be canvassing communities around the country to celebrate and recognize this important event.
The celebration of the month
, from September 15 through October 15, is a time to recognize all the significant contributions of Hispanic Americans to the United States as well as to celebrate Hispanic heritage and culture.
Why September 15? Because it's the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18, respectively.
Wells Fargo and Wachovia have long and proud histories of serving Hispanic communities. Our heritage of more than 150 years includes services both for and by the Spanish-speaking settlers of the West and the Americas. Wells Fargo's people, places and business extended from the old ranchos of California, the rail lines of an emerging modern Mexico, and offices throughout Central America and the Caribbean.
As another way to celebrate, participating Wells Fargo and Wachovia stores are offering a free CD with the music of many popular Latino artists, including Enrique Iglesias
, Cristian Castro
, and Tito Nieves!
If you're a Wells Fargo customer, just open a new Wells Fargo Checking Package®. Wachovia customers can open a checking account, along with services including a debit card, savings account and online banking — all of which can help your finances keep up with the changes in your life.
We're so excited to share in the pride of celebrating this month with our Latino customers and team members!
that's good
This is great!
