October 6

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) today announced a $250,000 donation to
the American Red Cross to assist with relief efforts in areas of central
Mexico that were devastated by a Sept. 19 earthquake. This donation will
help the Red Cross assist with preparedness, relief and recovery efforts
following the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that killed more than 200 people,
injured hundreds more and destroyed buildings and key infrastructure
throughout the region. Wells Fargo has maintained a presence in Mexico
since 1860.

“Our thoughts are with all of those impacted by this devastating
earthquake and we are committed to helping them recover and rebuild as
quickly as possible,” said Walfer Mejia, Wells Fargo’s country manager
for Mexico.

To assist its customers who have family and friends affected by the
earthquake, Wells Fargo also announced that it will waive transfer fees
for ExpressSend®
remittances sent from an eligible account to Mexico through October 6,
2017. The first remittance sent under each Service Agreement must be
initiated in person at a Wells Fargo branch, though customers with an
existing checking or savings account may be able to initiate their first
remittance by calling the Wells Fargo Phone BankSM.
Subsequent remittances may be initiated at a Wells Fargo retail banking
branch, by calling Wells Fargo Global Remittance Services at
1-800-556-0605, or through Wells Fargo Online® at wellsfargo.com.
Beneficiaries can receive funds at 11,600 locations and 16,900 ATMs in
Mexico.

“We know many of our customers are eager to send money to help family
and friends pay for critical needs like food and water, medical bills
and home repairs, and we’re proud to help our customers send every
possible dollar back home,” said Daniel Ayala, head of Wells Fargo’s
Global Remittance Services Group. “We stand in solidarity with the
people of Mexico.”
