Wells Fargo highlights, in one of its latest ads, that “Your Security Matters” and celebrates its renowned committment to help people protect their money.
“When bandits stole the lockbox from the Wells Fargo stagecoach, agent Beekman was one step ahead of them. Because he hid his customers’ gold in a different box. And the bandits… well… they got rocks,” the voiceover says at the beginning of the 30-second spot, pointing out, on behalf of the bank, that Wells Fargo is dedicated to helping protect your money today, as well, just like it did back then, by alerting you, for instance, to certain card activity considered suspicious and helping you resolve purchases that you didn’t make.
The commercial, which takes viewers through a trip back in time, when bandits stole the lockbox from the Wells Fargo stagecoach and found rocks in it, and back in 2018, when customers receive text messages in case of suspicious card activity, ends with the voiceover saying “It’s a new day at Wells Fargo. But it’s a lot like our first day” and with the tagline “WELLS FARGO. Established 1852. Re-Established 2018.” flashing across the screen.
