SAN ANTONIO -- Wachovia and Wells Fargo announced a merger 18 months ago. But Monday, the conversion officially happened in San Antonio.
News 4 WOAI cameras were there for the ribbon cutting on the former Wachovia Bank campus on Wiseman Drive, which is now Wells Fargo. During the event, the company also donated $25,000 to the Battered Women and Children's Shelter.
"We're giving grants from 5 to 25-thousand for 5 nonprofits in San Antonio, with Family Violence Services being the winner, voted on by our customers, receiving the largest $25,000 grant" explained Steve Arnold, Community Bank President of Wells Fargo.
Customers selected the organization they wanted to receive the money.
