Wells Fargo Bank: We did not find any Wells Fargo Bank offers for this month but do offer mortgage rates similar to Wells Fargo Bank in our online mortgage section. Having looked over at the Wells Fargo banking page we found that you can get free access to online banking but there are no real incentives to use Wells Fargo over any other bank. Even though they were a pioneer of the old-fashioned brick and mortar bank their money market rates are not comparable to the online-only Virtual and Netbanks.
