About Wells Fargo Bank International UC, Niederlassung Frankfurt

Wells Fargo Bank International UC, Niederlassung Frankfurt is the German branch of Wells Fargo Bank International Unlimited Company, an Ireland-authorized credit institution within the Wells Fargo group. The Frankfurt branch focuses on corporate and institutional clients, providing services such as corporate lending, trade finance (including letters of credit and guarantees), cash and liquidity management, international and domestic payments, foreign exchange, and treasury solutions; it does not operate a retail banking business in Germany and does not provide consumer products or an ATM network. Relationship-based onboarding is documentation-intensive and follows EU, Irish, and German AML/KYC rules, including verification of beneficial ownership and tax compliance under FATCA/CRS. Pricing for lending, deposits, and transactional services is typically negotiated bilaterally, with lending margins often referenced to benchmark rates like EURIBOR and service levels aligned to market payment cut-offs. Derivatives and hedging, where offered, are subject to standard market documentation and EU requirements such as EMIR. As a branch of an Irish institution, primary prudential supervision rests with the Central Bank of Ireland, while the branch is subject to German regulatory oversight for local conduct and reporting by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Eligible deposits, if accepted, fall under the Irish Deposit Guarantee Scheme up to statutory limits and subject to eligibility criteria, rather than the German scheme. Operations are relationship-managed and delivered through corporate channels (e.g., secure online portals or SWIFT connectivity), with a focus on German and multinational corporates and financial institutions requiring euro and multicurrency transaction banking and trade services.
