Wells Fargo & Company, the 10-K for 2025

Wells Fargo is a Delaware corporation and a holding company: its own business is owning its subsidiaries. Nearly all the banking happens inside one of them, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which held 85 percent of the group's assets at the end of 2025. It sells banking, investment and mortgage products, and consumer and commercial finance, to individuals, businesses and institutions, mostly in the United States. It reports in four segments.

What it sells to whom

For consumers: current and savings accounts, credit and debit cards, and lending for homes, cars, personal borrowing and small business. Beside that sits a wealth offering of personalised wealth management, brokerage, financial planning, lending, private banking, and trust and fiduciary services.

For companies, from private and family-owned businesses through to listed ones and municipalities: banking and credit products across a range of industry sectors, secured lending, lease products and treasury management.

For corporate, commercial real estate, government and institutional clients: a capital markets and banking offering that runs to corporate banking, investment banking, treasury management, commercial real estate lending and servicing, equity and fixed income products, and sales, trading and research.

The four segments

Consumer Banking and Lending, Commercial Banking, Corporate and Investment Banking, and Wealth and Investment Management. The filing states that the descriptions and financial detail of those segments live in the Annual Report to Shareholders rather than in the body of the 10-K itself.

The people

At the end of 2025 the company had about 205,000 active employees, about 76 percent of them based in the United States. The global workforce was 50 percent female and 50 percent male. In the United States, 50 percent identified as white, 49 percent as other races or ethnicities, and 1 percent did not declare.

Wells Fargo answers Item 7 of its Form 10-K by pointing at its Annual Report to Shareholders, which is not attached to the filing, so this description is drawn from the business section alone and the segment-level detail sits in that shareholder report. From Wells Fargo's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025. The filing
