A spokesperson for Wells Fargo claimed that their customers are utilizing their, “wide range of digital capabilities for many of their banking needs,” as a contributing reason to the closing of physical branches.
“We continually evaluate our branch network in light of changing customer needs, increased usage of digital banking and market factors,” added the spokesperson.
This trend has led to concerns about the impact on customers and the broader banking industry.
