Wells Fargo Failed to Open My Account

Just to undersore what some of the others have said: WF probably did
you a favor. They are not real friendly to small businesses. You will
be a great deal happier if you go to a local institution. More
specifically, a credit union. And very specifically, in your area I
reccommend Sharon Credit Union.
The big difference is that they really WANT your business, and will go
to great lengths to keep you happy.

Juan:

I agree, if they don't offer accounts in a certain state or area they
definitely should alert you before you submit the whole application.

I suggest opening your accounts at a small local bank or credit union
that will appreciate your business and give you the customer service
that you deserve. Many of them have the same conveniences as the
larger banks nowadays and they give better interest rates and perks!

If their policy is to not issue an account if you do not have access
to a branch, that is their policy. Why should they go against it for
you?

Looking at the Wells Fargo site, it looks like many states on the East
coast do not have branches. You should choose a bank that does. You
usually can't do everything online when it comes to a checking
account, which probably accounts for WF's policy.

I use ING Direct for savings and CD's.
