The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) may offer protection or relief to members of the military, their spouses, partners, and dependents. Wells Fargo appreciates the service of America's military personnel. That's why we offer expanded mortgage benefits that go beyond what the SCRA requires.

With SCRA benefits you may receive:
- Foreclosure protection.

These benefits last for 367 days after the Active Duty period.
