Wells Fargo also said the company is donating $125,000 to the American Red Cross disaster relief fund and $125,000 to the United Way of Texas Gulf Coast to help with relief and rebuilding efforts.
In addition, a new ATM functionality is now available allowing Wells Fargo customers to donate to the American Red Cross at Wells Fargo’s more than 700 ATMs throughout Texas. Customers are not charged fees for using the service and 100 percent of the donation is sent to the nonprofit. Customers also can make donations via the American Red Cross website at www.redcross.org or to the United Way of Texas Gulf Coast via www.unitedwayhouston.org.
“Like so many others, we are reaching out to help our Texas neighbors, friends, families and customers who have been affected by the recent hurricane,” said Chip Carlisle, Wells Fargo regional president for Texas. “We intend to work with each of our customers on an individual basis because we know that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. We want to help our customers satisfy all of their financial needs, especially at this time when they may be facing a difficult recovery from the hurricane.”
