Filed under: Banks & financial companies · Companies that support Israel
Background
No documented corporate donations, statements or Israel operations were found for Wells Fargo. The bank has no branches or offices in Israel, and it was not among the seven Western banks that Profundo's research for BankTrack/PAX identified as underwriters of Israeli government bonds issued during the Gaza war (October 2023 – January 2025). Boycott campaigns that list Wells Fargo rest mainly on asset-management and index-fund shareholdings in defense contractors — client money invested passively — and on claims, traced to advocacy research, that Wells Fargo lends to Elbit Systems' US subsidiary; we could not verify those lending claims in primary documents, and the company did not respond when the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited it to comment on a UN experts' call about arms-transfer financing. No post-October 7 corporate donation, employee-matching program or executive statement on Israel was found.
