Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) continues to enhance the financial services it
provides middle market companies by opening a new Commercial Banking
office here.
Late last year, Richard Ferrari was hired to lead the new office,
located in an existing Wells Fargo Advisors building in the suburb
community of Pittsford. The Rochester area has seen strong economic
growth during the recovery, making it an attractive market for Wells
Fargo’s Commercial Banking business, which serves middle market
companies with between $25 million and $1 billion in annual revenues.
Lending commitments to this segment in the upstate New York market have
increased 50 percent since December 2011.
“We see substantial and continuing opportunities in western New York,”
said Ferrari. “Wells Fargo’s plan involves expansion into strategic
growth markets, such as Rochester where we can serve our customers and
grow with them in the community.”
Wells Fargo employs approximately 250 team members in Monroe County.
Ferrari intends to expand his team in 2013.
