Wells Fargo closing Cordova Road branch May 17

“We continuously evaluate our branch network in light of changing customer needs, the increase in the use of digital banking, market factors, and economic trends,” Wells Fargo spokesman Ruben Pulido wrote in an email.

The Cordova ATM, however, will remain, he added.

Wells Fargo has another nearby branch 1.19 miles away at 770 St. Michael’s Drive.

Wells Fargo built the Cordova branch in 1997, soon after the bank arrived in Santa Fe after acquiring First Interstate Bank in 1996.

“Wells Fargo owns the property, and we are looking into future options for the building,” Pulido wrote.

Wells Fargo had six branches in Santa Fe for some 20 years, but the Guadalupe Street branch at DeVargas Center officially closed Nov. 18, 2020, after never reopening following the March 2020 coronavirus pandemic closure. Nusenda Credit Union opened in the Guadalupe office June 6.

After May 17, Wells Fargo will have four branches: on St. Michael’s, at 241 Washington Ave., 3150 Cerrillos Road and 4384 Rodeo Road.
