A history of supporting women

In 1995, Wells Fargo announced $1 billion in lending to empower women business owners and established the first national program of its kind dedicated to building women entrepreneurship. This $1 billion lending commitment was met in just one year and served as an inspiration for additional programs to address continued issues of inequity. Since 1995, we've continued our commitment to women business leaders.
